WebAssembly's Post-MVP Future
summary
Roadmap lists concrete wins not promises: browsers add streaming compilation in Firefox plus a baseline and optimizing compiler and HTTP cache to skip compile time; threading proposal is nearly finished, SIMD and 64‑bit addressing are in active work; Rust rewrites already deliver 11× faster webpack and an 86× Gutenberg parser; edge CDNs (Fastly) run tiny wasm instances in dozens of microseconds; a standard system API (WASI / WebAssembly System Interface) targets ~10 blockchain and server platforms so portable sandboxed modules run everywhere.
