WebAssembly (also known as WASM) was launched in 2017 as a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. It is not designed to be used as a language itself, but rather as an effective compilation target for languages like C, C++, and Rust. WebAssembly is a low-level, assembly-like language with a compact binary format. This makes it possible for WebAssembly to deliver near-native performance.
