WebAssembly as cross-platform architecture?!

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Shows a real cross‑platform C++ codebase from join.me compiled for web with Emscripten and migrated toward WebAssembly, claims four years of production experience and a one year old runtime, and contrasts monolithic builds with module design plus CI. Demonstrates AssemblyScript compiling typed JS to WASM with a Fibonacci live demo that initially overflows on i32 then is fixed by switching to f64, and reports measurable perf and improved accessibility for non C++ teams.
