Swift for WebAssembly - How To Use Swift In Your Web App

on YouTube ↗55m

" summary

Shows how to compile Swift to WebAssembly using the Carton plugin and the SwiftWasm toolchain, load modules in a normal web app and run them with runtimes like wasmer, and call JS via JavaScriptKit; distinguishes command vs reactor modules (start vs initialize) and exporting functions with Swift 6’s @expose wasm / C calling convention. Demos include a hello world, a dice button, a live graph, and a multiplayer Connect‑4 that reuses 100% of domain logic across web front end and a Vapor backend — all working live.
