Sometimes you need the low level primitive building blocks that JavaScript can't handle. For that, the upcoming specification for WebAssembly or wasm is a new, portable, size- and load-time-efficient format suitable for compilation to the web.
In this episode, we discuss what WebAssembly is, where the specification is headed, and the current goings on of the growing WebAssembly community.
