[Gambas-user] Does anyone have any thoughts on webassembly

[Brian G]

Webassembly is a virtual machine inside the web browser that is now supported by most browsers. It allows a c program to be compiles to web assembly
Then run on the web assembly virtual machine.
Most compilers now have a webassembly translator or compile directly to web assembly. 
Since when a gambas module is fast it is translated to c code and then compiles to native machine code. Perhaps it would be possible compile to web assembly which could be directly sent to the client browser for execution.
It would mean I think that all gambas modules would have to be compiled to web assembly library format.
web assembly links all required code and libraries to a single app binary I think and then sends it to the browser and runs in in a sandboxed virtual machine.
Not sure what else. But it would be quite useful. To write to the app and it just runs on the clients machine in the browser.
