WebAssembly

A new bytecode for the Javascript Virtual Machines that run in TheBrowser and NodeJS

https://wasmfromthegroundup.com/

The idea of web-assembly is that any language can be compiled down to this bytecode, which is then downloaded as part of a WebApp

Downside ... it interferes with ViewSource for keeping code open.

Upside ... any language can run fast in the browser.

People are even compiling C to run in the browser now.

BunVM is trendy new runtime for it
