Working with WebAssembly and WASI 0.2 components (opens in new tab)

WebAssembly (or WASM) is a stack-based assembly-like binary language format that is supported across modern browsers, can be executed at near-native speeds, and is a compilation target supported by languages like C/C++ and Rust, allowing native code to be compiled and executed in web browsers. As well as browsers, we have WASM runtimes like Wasmtime and Wasmer which can execute WASM binaries outside of browsers.
