WebAssembly – What It Is and Why Consider Using It
What Is WebAssembly
WebAssembly (or WASM) – From The source – “WebAssembly (abbreviated WASM) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. WASM is designed as a portable compilation target for programming languages, enabling deployment on the web for client and server applications.” webassembly.org. WebAssembly is efficient, fast, open source, debuggable, safe, and part of the open web platform, but what is the big takeaway — WebAssembly “is a compilation target for programming languages.” I highlight this because you may be under the impression that you write WASM code, but in reality, you compile your code into WASM code. As it states, “WASM is a binary instruction file which can run in a stack-based virtual machine .” In other words, a binary file runs in the abstraction of a computer that acts like real hardware. And the goal of WASM is for that abstraction to exist in the browser seamlessly.
How WebAssembly Works
To begin with, a developer writes code in a WASM-supported language (C++, Rust, C#, etc..) and then compiles that code into a WASM binary format that can run in the browser. For example, you can compile a C++ library into WASM format and then run functions from the library in a JavaScript web environment. Each supported language compiles to WASM through a unique library or toolchain. For C++, a compiler toolchain called “Emscripten” is used. For Rust, there is a tool called “wasm-pack.” For C#, you build the application with Blazor, and Visual Studio (newer versions) handles the rest.
Why Would You Use WebAssembly
A few regular use cases exist for going to WebAssembly as a solution.
- Bottlenecks in your application: Areas where a 50% increase in execution time or more consistent execution time would drastically improve the end users’ experience. For example, your application has some backend business logic. In this case, you can eliminate the server usage, and the time it takes to communicate with it by executing that logic directly on the client.
- Filling a technology gap: Google created an application called “Sqoosh,” used for image compression and processing. The application takes advantage of APIs and processing that traditional JavaScript couldn’t achieve, so they turned to WASM.
- Using non-web-friendly code: “Sqoosh” is also an excellent example of using non-web-friendly code. It uses multiple libraries written in various languages compiled into WASM to deliver a wide range of image-processing functionality. The idea is code exists already that does something you want to do on the web. WASM can be the solution that brings that code to the web.
Important Features of WebAssembly
- Efficient and Fast: The WebAssembly takes advantage of common hardware capabilities on a range of platforms and allows applciations to run at native speed.
- Safe: A WebAssembly encoded application is placed in a memory-safe sandboxed execution environment and enforces the same-origin and permissions security policies of the browser
- Becomes Part Of Open Web: Maintains the versionless, feature-tested, backwards-compatible nature of the web
Whos Behind WebAssembly
Part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the “Web Assembly Working Group,” is responsible for WebAssembly. They have contributors from many major players in modern web browsers, including Mozilla, Microsoft, Google, and many more. In 2019 W3C WebAssembly became the fourth language for the web, a massive stamp of approval by the people building browsers for WebAssembly. WebAssembly is turning out to be a groundbreaking addition to the web development world and is worth understanding.

Azure & AWS
Better For Remote Work – Access Files & Applications From Anywhere
Easier to Scale With Business Growth
Part Of A Proven System That Is Maintained & Updated For You
It is essential to understand the differences between the wide range of choices you have and the leaders of the pack; Azure, AWS, and GCP. For example, one of the key differences between Azure and AWS is how they deal with temporary storage. Azure is based on page and block storage “Blobs” for virtual memory and object storage. At the same time, AWS assigns temporary storage during the instance and then deletes the data when the instance is terminated. So much to consider. Let Intertech experts help you evaluate which is best for your long-term needs or help you integrate into the one already selected.
On your next project, consider injecting proven full-time expertise backed by a network of colleagues with senior skills and an extensive knowledge base instead of a VMS-selected heads-down contractor that fits their price structure rather than what defines your reputation. Intertech focuses on its people and the value they bring to all our clients so you get it right the first time.
