Code Anywhere, Share Everywhere: Wasm-Powered Dev Environments

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Claim: compilers and runtimes are compiled to wasm so the browser compiles source to wasm and runs full backend services via Rust compiler compiled to wasm and wasm-tools also running in the browser. The demo is a GitHub-issue manager that actually hits the network, edits backend Rust, and updates live; cached dependencies yield most compilations under three seconds. Service workers intercept HTTP so services run client-side and work offline. Current limits: Cargo isn’t dynamic and some thread and linking hacks (WYP1 threads, JSPI, WTO) are required.
