The Power of WebAssembly (WASM) in Running Near-Native Code Inside the Browser
For years, the web was dominated by HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. That stack worked but it came with a hard ceiling on performance. Heavy computation, cryptography, real-time graphics, and advanced simulations were either slow or pushed to native desktop apps. WebAssembly (WASM) breaks that ceiling.It introduces a low-level, high-performance execution layer inside the browser,…

WebAssembly and Browser Performance: Closing the Gap with Native Execution
1. The Performance Ceiling of JavaScript For years, JavaScript has been the backbone of the web. But let’s be honest: it was never designed for high-performance computing. Despite massive improvements in JIT compilers and engines like V8, JavaScript still carries fundamental limitations dynamic typing, garbage collection overhead, and runtime interpretation costs. This becomes painfully…
