awesome-wasm-langs

Another reminder to check out WebAssembly. Both updates in the release notes about WebAssembly sound very promising. One is getting towards complete parity with native code, and the other is reduced overhead when interfacing with JS. I looked around the web and found this: https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-langs ...which led me to this: https://github.com/AssemblyScript/assemblyscript Its description is awesome: "Definitely not a TypeScript to WebAssembly compiler :rocket:" The thing that makes me most not want to miss the boat on WebAssembly so far is that Figma uses it (with C++): https://madewithwebassembly.com/showcase/figma/

there are a few languages already do that, but mostly non-serious stuff. https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-langs I've implemented one but still need to get back to it to finish it... WASM is one of the easiest targets out there, hence so many languages already targeting it. But that will change once some of the WASM proposals become a standard, especially things like GC support and WASI, which will take a team (and long term investments) rather than a lone dev to implement: https://webassembly.org/docs/future-features/
