Presentation: The WebAssembly Revolution Has Begun

I love sharing my passion for WebAssembly. WebAssembly is still fairly new, so the community is still rather small. I’d love to have people enthused and get those early adopters who don’t mind working through rough patches to make the experience better for everyone. And it would be great if they can give feedback during the specification process and help shape this as well.

Trailblazers of all kinds really, not just people who ship code to browsers. Contrary to its name, WebAssembly will be super popular on the server and in mobile development. Even if you don’t think you’ll use WebAssembly anytime soon, I think you’ll walk away with a much better understanding of how it fits in the grand scheme of things.

I’m hoping that people walk away with a much better understanding of what WebAssembly is, what it isn’t, and how it’s going to change the landscape in the years to come. You won’t be an expert--this is a pretty complex topic--but I think it’ll really pull back the veil and give you a solid foundation to jump in.

I think a lot about the need for new programming languages designed specifically with the web in mind. Languages like Dart, Reason, Elm, etc. This is where I’m most excited for WebAssembly’s potential.
