WebAssembly (WASM) significantly enhances the performance of web applications by allowing low-level bytecode execution within web browsers, potentially improving load times and reducing latency. It supports languages like C, C++, Rust, and Go, providing flexibility and enabling the reuse of existing codebases. WASM also operates in a secure, sandboxed environment that protects against attacks. Applications like Figma, AutoCAD Web, Google Earth, and GIMP leverage WASM to deliver complex functionalities smoothly in browsers. Key integration steps include picking a compatible language, compiling to WASM, and interfacing with JavaScript.
