Introduction to WebAssembly and SIMD 1.1 What is WebAssembly? WebAssembly (often abbreviated as Wasm) is a binary instruction format designed as a target for high-level languages like C, C++, Rust, and others, enabling them to be executed in web browsers at near-native performance. Unlike JavaScript, WebAssembly is statically typed, allowing for better optimizations. One of its key roles is to support web applications with computationally intensive tasks and c
