awesome-wasm

Interesting idea. I want this to exist. It's needed now that many projects have left github. The closest thing I can think of to what you want to make are those "awesome x" repos on github which list projects related to x (e.g.: https://github.com/mbasso/awesome-wasm) It needs a memorable name like wesource or youcode. You'll probably want a way for maintainers to claim a project (like google allows businesses to do on maps). Community management in general seems hard. The other hard part will determining relevancy. What do you show on the homepage? Ad-supported or donation-based? Look to large wikis and public resources like everymac.com for inspiration maybe.

>Wasm code can only be loaded from JS, it can only be invoked from JS, and it's only way to affecting the world outside the VM is to call functions in JS that are going to do something to a user-visible DOM. Incorrect. WASM was designed from the beginning to be run both on and off the web[0], and native clients already exist[1].

>1. Why don't browsers execute (interpret?) languages other than JavaScript? I believe the general idea was that they would, because the "type" attribute in the <script> tag didn't need to be "text/javascript", but javascript happened to win because it was supported by Netscape Navigator. Microsoft had VBScript, but that was an IE only product, while both browsers supported javascript, making it the only choice for cross-browser compatible scripting (albeit with lots of irritating hacks, but then jQuery came along.) See this decent StackExchange thread here[0]. Then HTML5 deprecated the type attribute from the script tag because there really was no point anymore. Why support other languages when one language was adequate and already ubiquitous? >2. What would be involved in having a browser execute (interpret?) other languages, such as Pe

Sorry to disappoint you, but everyone is on the WebAssembly race, all plugins will be back, like it or not. https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-langs https://github.com/mbasso/awesome-wasm As for Microsoft, they just announced the Blazor project. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2018/02/06/blazor-ex... Thank browser developers for opening the pandora box.

Yes, there are already quite a few ongoing ports to WebAssembly, including TypeScript dialects. https://github.com/mbasso/awesome-wasm

If you're looking for an introduction to WebAssembly my "WebAssembly 101: a developer's first steps" post had some success here: https://blog.openbloc.fr/webassembly-first-steps/ HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14495893 The awesome-wasm list is also a good start: https://github.com/mbasso/awesome-wasm

The "awesome wasm" link collection has many good starting points: https://github.com/mbasso/awesome-wasm
