"I work as a principal engineer in Red Hat. Currently, my main focus is on Chicory and WebAssembly. Let's talk about what we are going through in this talk. We will have two parts. The first one is about the motivation that brings this talk here, and what we are trying to achieve. The second part of it will be when the rubber hits the road."
"WebAssembly is a portable binary execution format for programs. It is extremely used in the browser. WebAssembly really loves to run in the browser. It has been built to overcome the limitations of running at speed, like graphic engines, cryptographic libraries, inside the browser, where you usually can run only JavaScript, which is a dynamic language which is slow. Instead, now with WebAssembly, you can run system programming languages like C, C++, Rust, and those are extremely fast."
WebAssembly is a portable binary execution format that enables fast execution of programs. It runs extensively in browsers and allows system languages such as C, C++, and Rust to deliver high performance where JavaScript is insufficient. WebAssembly executes inside a secure, escape-resistant sandbox, giving the embedding system full control over running code. The standard is part of W3C and is increasingly used beyond browsers in embedded and enterprise environments. Practical adoption requires addressing integration challenges, tooling, and runtime considerations to incorporate WebAssembly modules into applications and achieve secure, portable, production-ready deployments.
