Web Assembly : overview : remember

Summary

WebAssembly (Wasm) is a compact, low-level bytecode format designed to run high-performance code safely and portably across platforms, especially in web browsers and lightweight runtimes. Developers typically compile languages like C/C++ or Rust to Wasm, which executes inside a secure sandbox with near-native speed. Wasm integrates with JavaScript for web apps and, via WASI, with non-browser environments for command-line tools, servers, and edge computing. Its design emphasizes performance, safety, portability, and interoperability.
