What effect will Web Assembly have on Wt?

Added by Aaron Wright over 6 years ago

Web assembly (http://webassembly.org/) is big in the news today. Will this have any effect on Wt? Will Wt make use of it?

I believe that at the moment Koen is taking a closer look at Emscripten (so asm.js, not WebAssembly, but the process is very similar I believe?) for use in a project (not directly in Wt). I think it could be interesting to use in the future, either to make a Wt application run in the browser entirely, or find ways to write both client side and server side code in C, and have them work together smoothly. None of that is concrete though. It's all just dreams and vague ideas at the moment, but I'm definitely interested in WebAssembly.

Roel
