Bare Metal Web Assembly

How you like to use your favorite programming language to build high performing web applications that don’t require JavaScript? You may find the answer with WebAssembly, a standard that defines a binary format for executables in JavaScript environments. Already many languages and compilers have been updated to target this new domain. Now that it has been adopted by all modern browsers, developers are porting projects and frameworks to take advantage of the promise of improved performance and the ability to build web applications using the language of their choice. Learn the history of WebAssembly, see examples in C#, Go, and Rust and decide for yourself if it’s time to build code for the world’s newest operating system: your browser.
