This is the bit I'm most interested in:
> WebAssembly got a new baseline compiler for much faster startup of complex websites with big WebAssembly modules (such as Google Earth and AutoCAD). Depending on the hardware we are seeing speedups of more than 10×. Stay tuned for more details in a separate blog post.
I'll be excited about WebAssembly when it can manipulate DOM. Until then, it feels mostly like a thought experiment in that the number of people that it makes sense to use right now is miniscule.
Check out Rust’s wasm-bindgen - https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen if ya haven’t already.
Right now it you call into JS to interact with the DOM but when the host bindings proposal sees fruit it’ll replace the JS shims with direct DOM manipulation!
