WebAssembly
WebAssembly (Wasm) defines a portable binary-code format and a corresponding text format for executable programs as well as software interfaces for facilitating communication between such programs and their host environment.
The main goal of WebAssembly is to facilitate high-performance applications on web pages, but it is also designed to be usable in non-web environments. It is an open standard intended to support any language on any operating system, and in practice many of the most popular languages already have at least some level of support.
Announced in 2015 and first released in March 2017, WebAssembly became a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation on 5 December 2019 and it received the Programming Languages Software Award from ACM SIGPLAN in 2021. The W3C maintains the standard with contributions from Mozilla, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Fastly, Intel, and Red Hat.
The name WebAssembly is intended to suggest bringing assembly language programming to the World Wide Web, where it will be executed client-side, by the website-user's computer via the user's web browser. To accomplish this, WebAssembly must be much more hardware-independent than a true assembly language.
WebAssembly was first announced in 2015, and the first demonstration was executing Unity's Angry Bots in Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge [Legacy]. The precursor technologies were asm.js from Mozilla and Google Native Client, and the initial implementation was based on the feature set of asm.js.
In March 2017, the design of the minimum viable product (MVP) was declared to be finished and the preview phase ended. In late September 2017, Safari 11 was released with support. In February 2018, the WebAssembly Working Group published three public working drafts for the Core Specification, JavaScript Interface, and Web API.
In June 2019, Chrome 75 was released with WebAssembly threads enabled by default.
Since April 2022,[update] WebAssembly 2.0 has been in draft status. It adds many SIMD-related instructions and a new v128 datatype, with the ability for functions to return multiple values, and mass memory initialize/copy.
