WebAssembly (WASI) is a new standard for portable, efficient execution of applications on the web and beyond. This introduction explores how WASM enables near-native performance while maintaining sandboxed security.
Key Benefits
Near-Native Speed
Applications written in C, C++, or Rust can run in the browser at near-native speeds without security tradeoffs.
Cross-Language Support
WASM's standardized binary format allows multiple languages to compile to the same runtime environment.
Pro tip
Use Tailwind's JIT compiler to experiment with WASM integration in modern web apps.
webassembly {
module "./wasm/prime_finder";
instantiate {
export find_primes;
}
}
