Wasm Deep Dive - A Glance Behind the Scenes
#1about 6 minutes
Defining WebAssembly as a portable compilation target
WebAssembly is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine that allows code from languages like Rust and C++ to run in the browser and on the server.
#2about 11 minutes
Building and running a simple Wasm module
A simple function is written in WebAssembly Text (WAT), compiled to a binary Wasm file using wat2wasm, and then executed from a JavaScript host.
#3about 14 minutes
A deep dive into the stack-based virtual machine
An Advent of Code example demonstrates how all operations, from memory loads to arithmetic and comparisons, use the stack to pass arguments and receive results.
#4about 11 minutes
Wasm's sandboxed memory and host communication model
WebAssembly modules operate on a dedicated linear memory block for security, and they communicate with the host environment through defined imports and exports.
#5about 6 minutes
Extending Wasm capabilities with WASI and WASIX
The WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) provides a standard API for modules to access system resources like file I/O and networking, which are not available in core Wasm.
#6about 10 minutes
Answering common questions about WebAssembly
The Q&A covers practical topics including when to use Wasm over JavaScript, the WebAssembly Component Model (WIT), and approaches to debugging and profiling.
