WebAssembly Strategic Roadmap
This document outlines the strategic vision and development priorities for WebAssembly from 2025-2027, including key milestones, technical roadmap priorities, and community engagement goals.
2025 Vision
WASM in Every Browser
Full WebAssembly 2.0 support across all major browsers with 100% compatibility for existing WebAssembly toolchains.
Cross-Platform SDKs
Unified SDK release supporting native compilation across Windows, Linux, macOS, and WSL without platform-specific builds.
Quantum Resistance
Begin implementation of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms in WASI for secure cloud-to-edge computation.
Development Timeline
2025 Priorities
- Finalize SIMD extensions for 3D rendering optimizations
- Integrate WASI with Kubernetes for containerless deployments
- Launch wasm2wasm tool for native code migration
2026 Goals
- 300% performance improvement in WebGPU integration
- Full support for WebAssembly garbage collection
- WASM in edge computing frameworks
2027 Targets
- Quantum-resistant cryptography in WebAssembly core
- WASM as primary backend for all major game engines
- 100% native code compilation speed parity with C++
Future
- Neural network JIT compiler for WebAssembly
- Real-time cross-compiler between WebAssembly and Risc-v
- WASM as standard runtime for AI assistants
