WasmAssembly

About WasmAssembly

WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm, a contraction of "WebAssembly", not an acronym, hence not using all-caps) is a safe, portable, low-level code format designed for efficient execution and compact representation. An assembly is a group of people gathered together in one place for a common purpose. In this show with the whimsical name WasmAssembly (get it?), Thomas Steiner, Developer Relations Engineer at Google, chats with experts from the community about the past, present, and future developments happening in the world of WebAssembly.

   Scala.js to Wasm—Exploring the Wasm backend for Scala.js with Sébastien Doeraene

   The JVM-to-Web journey continues! In this episode, Thomas Steiner welcomes the original author of Scala.js, Sébastien Doeraene, to discuss the major, experimental leap to WebAssembly. You'll learn why the team decided to target Wasm now and how it complements the existing JavaScript emission. This episode offers a technical deep-dive into how Scala's powerful, nominal type system maps its objects and classes onto Wasm GC, and examines the critical details of interoperability, including what happens when a Scala object crosses the boundary to a JavaScript function. Finally, Sébastien covers the current status of the Wasm ecosystem for Scala.js, and the key limitations you need to know before you flip the `withExperimentalUseWebAssembly(true)` switch. Tune in to discover how a mature typed language is laying a fast, new foundation on the web!

    In this episode, Thomas Steiner chats with Francis McCabe from Google, who's the champion of the JavaScript Promise Integration and the Stack Switching proposals. They go from talking about synchronous assumptions in code over to discussing the JavaScript Promise Integration (JSPI) proposal and how to use it in practice, its performance implications, and how to use it in practice. After exploring a neat side effect of JSPI, namely lazy loading, the fall into the rabbit hole of comparing JSPI to the upcoming ES module integration of Wasm. Finally, Francis gives an overview of his other early stage Stack Switching proposal.
