  • Is the Web Browser the Most Important Platform for App Development?

    That said, WebAssembly’s ecosystem is still fragmented. Tools like Emscripten (C/C++), wasm-bindgen (Rust), and JSGo (Go) serve different languages, but this complicates the standardization of interactions with web APIs, limiting broader WASM integration with web development.
  • Python HTTP library 'urllib3' now works in the browser

    Browsers limit the ability for these platforms to use raw sockets, there simply is no API for it. The best that can be done /today/ is to use WebSockets, which are not the same thing any can't be used for HTTP requests without the server expecting a WebSocket connection:

  • A minimal working Rust / SDL2 / WASM browser game

    Only half true. Emscripten implements the SDL 1.2 (and also SDL_mixer 1.2) API in Javascript here: https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/main/src/.... On the other hand SDL 2 (and SDL_mixer 2) are proper ports (which you linked to).

    So there's quite a size penalty to using SDL 2 rather than SDL 1.2.

  • Playing with low-level memory in WebAssembly

    Playing with low-level stuff is fun, but I won't use it anywhere in productionable code. Well, at least without considerable experience and understanding of the Emscripten code base.
  • Keeping Figma Fast: perf-testing the WASM editor
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Aug 2023
    Thank you for your comment!

    WASM gave Figma a lot of speed by default for a lot of perf-sensitive code like rendering, layouts, applying styles and materializing component instances, our GUI code is mostly React and CSS.

    WASM engine performance has not been a problem for us, instead we are constantly looking forward improvements in the devex department: debugging, profiling and modularization.

    One of the largest challenges of the platform we face today is the heap size limit. While Chrome supports up to 4GB today, that's not yet the case for all browsers. And even with that, we are still discovering bugs in the toolchain (see this recent issue filed by one of our engineers) https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/20137

    The challenge of the perf-testing at scale in our company is helping developers to detect perf regressions when they don't expect them - accidental algorithmic errors, misused caches, over-rendering React components, dangerously inefficient CSS directives, etc.

    Moving onto the project, let’s first install Emscripten from their git repository. Emscripten will compile C into Wasm code. An important note is that I will be using Mac OS for this project. If you want to follow along using Windows, use this link. To Begin, open your terminal and clone down Emscripten with:
