WebAssembly is actively used in production by companies like Figma, Cloudflare, and Godot, primarily as a compilation target that bridges language ecosystems. Its strength lies in security guarantees enabling sub-millisecond spinup times and safe execution of untrusted code, plus portability allowing C++/Rust libraries to run in browsers. Performance is comparable to JavaScript in browsers, with trade-offs in binary size and boundary crossing costs. Most developers encounter it transparently through library dependencies rather than directly, which contributes to the perception that "nothing happened" despite significant real-world adoption and ongoing standardization efforts.
