WebAssembly

WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. It is designed as a portable compilation target for high-level languages like C, C++, and Rust, enabling deployment on the web for client and server applications.

Wasm allows developers to run performance-critical code in web browsers at near-native speeds. It is used by developers seeking to enhance web application performance, port desktop applications to the web, or execute computationally intensive tasks directly within the browser environment.
