You know, as a rustacean myself, I do get the joy of seeing web stuff run fast, compiling code for the web, etc. And wasm is supposed to have a human-readable format so that “View Source” is still a thing!
So in an ideal world, I like wasm. In the real world though, where they’ve been dragging feet on web-assembly-text, I’m skeptical. Will that format–stripped of names and comments possibly, probably obfuscated–even be useful? Will companies actually use it, or will this all be watered down? Hard to say at this point.
So do we or don’t we like wasm?
