"It's time to try WebAssembly" - Tim McNamara (nz.js(con); 2021)
(Tim McNamara) WebAssembly (wasm) makes it easy to create feature-rich, secure and performant applications in the browser. Or does it? And is that all? This talk aims to explain why people are excited about wasm and how you can begin to validate some of the lofty claims yourself. Tim learned to code to assist with humanitarian disasters around the world from New Zealand. He's been tinkering with computers ever since. His area of professional expertise is in natural language processing and machine learning. Tim's also the author of Rust in Action, an introduction Rust for programmers who have never used a systems programming language.
