Tech Talk: Web Assembly (and You )

Javascript is easy to learn and currently monopolizes inbrowser code. Unfortunately, even with two decades of optimization, the fastest Javascript is still less than half the speed of native (inOS) code. Enter Web Assembly: a binary compiler target offering nearnative performance. Soon, developers writing in C, C++ or other languages will be able to run their code directly in a browser. In this video, Eric explains how the upcoming implementation of Web Assembly will greatly improve the speed, reliability, and power of inbrowser code, including Javascript.
