Before simply passing on this item, take a look at this demo to appreciate the potential of WebAssembly. This is a big deal. The demo is an image processing library that can run on a live website and do image manipulation in milliseconds - basically real-time for a web user (the full source code in Rust and Javascript is available). Basically the idea of WebAssembly is that you can define low-level functions (like image manipulation) in Rust and JavaScript that compile and run rapidly in a small virtual machine, and access this through Javascript APIs from your web page. Some more demos: Sandspiel (you'll want to play with this), Squoosh photo editor, Pyodide Python notebook in the browser, Video editor (including from webcam), Tanks (a Unity (3D engine) tutorial game; expand to full screen to start), Figma team-based web-based design (more), a 3D viewer, Doom3 demo, and much much much more.
