Bringing the web up to speed with WebAssembly | the morning paper

Wow, pretty surprising just how formal wasm is, and the research/design behind it.

​And even more amazing is that it evolved so quickly. It and webgl are amazing for their boosting the browser's capabilities. 

Similarly th​e speed in which phone browsers had access to hardware that eventually became available to the browser. And ditto "progressive" html/css features making the same page work well on desktops, laptops, tablets, phones, watches.

Whadda world!

Oh: just out of curiosity: has anyone tried wasm yet?

What is the future of this?  Should we expect Visual Studio and XCode targets?   I mean, just wait?
