I'm going to show how you can easily get started with your first WASM experience and how to test things out. I will solve some mysteries and have to disappoint you with some others, such as troubleshooting. Is WebAssembly just for the web? No! But we still have a road ahead.


The Gitpod Community in Munich 🇩🇪
What is bytecode? Don't all encodings use bytes? Is WASM just a replacement for JavaScript? And does it have anything to do with Rust?
Yuji Isobe (VP of Engineering at NearMe) will talk about his WASM journey. He will explain what he has learned, and point out things he misunderstood, so that you don't make the same wrong assumptions. Even if you're already familiar with WASM, his performance analysis will likely surprise you. Join us to learn why WASM is a giant leap forward, not just for the frontend but for computing in general. And last but not least, understand what it means from the perspective of Rust development.

Core tech:
The talk will go over why client-side compute is cool and good, briefly describe how CheerpJ and CheerpX work internally (WebAssembly magic), and then discuss the various ways in which they can be used in organisations for fun and profit.
