How WebAssembly is changing the Web and what it means for Angular

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

WebAssembly compiles C/C++ (and other languages) to a browser binary that runs near native speed, with streaming compilation and module instantiation via WebAssembly.instantiate. The demo compares a C++ animation dropping execution time from 100ms down to 6–7ms, shows OpenGL→WebGL ports, SQLite compiled to wasm and loaded with Emscripten toolchain, explains string passing via the wasm memory buffer, and recommends storing compiled modules for offline use with IndexedDB caching. Browsers currently implement the MVP.
