Overview

WebAssembly enables near-native performance in browsers, serverless, and edge computing with multiple languages (Rust, Go, C++). This skill covers WASM patterns, toolchains, and common use cases.

Why This Matters

• Near-Native Performance: Runs at near-native speed in browsers
• Language Agnostic: Compile Rust, Go, C++, Python to WASM
• Edge Computing: Fast cold starts, low memory
• Code Sharing: Share logic between web, desktop, and mobile

Core Concepts & Rules

1. Core Principles

• Follow established patterns and conventions
• Maintain consistency across codebase
• Document decisions and trade-offs

2. Implementation Guidelines

• Start with the simplest viable solution
• Iterate based on feedback and requirements
• Test thoroughly before deployment

Inputs / Outputs / Contracts

• Inputs:
  • Source code (Rust, Go, C++, etc.)
  • Build configuration (target, optimization)
  • JavaScript/TypeScript integration code
• Entry Conditions:
  • Rust/Go/C++ toolchain installed
  • wasm-pack or TinyGo installed
  • Bundler configured (Vite, Webpack, etc.)
• Outputs:
  • WASM binary (.wasm file)
  • JavaScript glue code
  • TypeScript type definitions
• Artifacts Required (Deliverables):
  • WASM module
  • TypeScript definitions
  • Integration code
  • Build scripts
• Acceptance Evidence:
