I'm hiring for a WebAssembly Developer Advocate at the moment so I definitely believe it has a future :)
I'm excited about the potential WASM will unlock for types of applications that were heavily bound to the compute of JavaScript. I think it's going to be huge for certain classes of games, accelerating how quickly well known desktop applications and libraries can be ported to the web (I was playing around with a Vim port in WASM just last night!) and potentially for data-science. At the same time, I don't think it's going to displace the use-cases for JavaScript directly. JS continues to see strong adoption for UI development and I don't see this changing anytime soon.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on WebAssembly.
