1. Assembling on the Web with WebAssembly
   Speaker: Danno Clifford (Technical lead and manager of the V8 team at Google Munich)

Have you ever dreamed of creating your own programming language? And building a compiler for it? And for style points doing it with open Web technologies so that billions of users can use your creation? In this talk we'll playfully explore how to use JavaScript together with WebAssembly, the same tech that is being used to bring a new class of powerful computing experiences to the the Web, to make that dream come true.

2. WebAssembly past and future: a V8 engine perspective
   Ben Titzer (Webassembly team lead, Google Munich)

In this talk, I will give an overview of engine modifications over the past ~2years to improve the startup and runtime performance of WebAssembly in V8 and offer a perspective on the coming language features and their implementation.
