Talk Title: Web Assembly in the JavaScript Ecosystem

Description: JavaScript developers might be surprised to learn how many of their dependencies already leverage Web Assembly (Wasm) behind the scenes. In this talk, we’ll explore notable uses of Wasm in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems and discuss the benefits of hybrid Wasm/JS tooling as opposed to fully native or fully JS solutions.

Speaker: [@n_moore](https://twitter.com/n_moore), from [@astrodotbuild](https://twitter.com/astrodotbuild) \-\- Nate Moore is a co\-creator and core maintainer of [Astro](https://github.com/withastro/astro) and works as a Senior Software Engineer at [The Astro Technology Company](https://astro.build/). Despite his primary focus on developer tooling, Nate’s early career as a UI/UX Designer and Web Developer instilled in him a deep appreciation for every layer of the web stack. As the lead developer of the [Astro compiler](https://github.com/withastro/compiler) (Go, Wasm), he has recently taken an interest in the disruptive potential of Wasm in the JavaScript ecosystem.
