Web Assembly (WASM) offers significant benefits in performance, cross-platform capabilities, and security, allowing developers to use their preferred programming languages and creating efficient, memory-safe applications. WASM can run on different architectures, making it highly compatible and versatile. It also improves application startup times and reduces memory usage, although it lacks multi-threading capabilities. WASM's security advantages stem from its minimal interaction with the underlying OS and use of lightweight container images.
