WebAssembly
A few wasm projects I've worked on:
- An in-browser crossword puzzle generator: https://crossword.paulbutler.org/ (source: https://github.com/paulgb/crossword-composer)
- A multi-player word game: https://redwords.paulbutler.org/
- A library for synchronizing state between clients, used for that word game: https://aper.dev/ (source: https://github.com/aper-dev/aper very WIP right now)
In my experience, the single biggest perk of using WebAssembly is that I can use a language I'm very productive in (Rust) compared to JavaScript. Everything else is secondary. That said, I think these projects have specific advantages by virtue of being WebAssembly:
- The backtracking search used for the crossword puzzle generator is carefully implemented to not allocate extra memory. This would be tough to do in JavaScript, and I believe it's partly responsible for its performance.
- The word game uses a compression algorithm that benefits very noticeably from wasm-opt, to the point that I can't run it without it. Given that wasm-opt takes a non-trivial amount of time at compile time, I suspect the JavaScript JIT would be slow at doing something similar at runtime. This is just conjecture, I haven't checked.
- What Aper does just wouldn't be possible without Rust features like Serde and macros.

The character encoding cheat sheet for JS developers
In this article, we've covered the basics of character encoding in JavaScript, including the different encoding standards, how they work, and how to work with them in Node.js and web browsers. We've also covered some best practices for working with character encoding in JavaScript and provided tips and techniques for debugging encoding issues. If you want to learn more about character encoding in JavaScript, there are several resources. The Unicode Consortium's website provides detailed information about the Unicode standard, while the Mozilla Developer Network has extensive documentation on character encoding in JavaScript. Additionally, there are several books on JavaScript that cover this topic in depth, such as "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" by David Flanagan and "Eloquent JavaScript" by Marijn Haverbeke.
