Dev Genius·4yNode.js: In Go We Trust
Node.js is good for I/O intensive tasks but bad for CPU bound tasks. Golang offers a lot of options to handle such tasks (child processes/cluster, worker threads) Other languages (C, C++, Rust, Golang) can be used as separate Services/Microservices or via WebAssembly scripts.
Medium·4yIntroduction to WebAssembly (WASM)
As of today, 94% of installed browsers support WebAssembly. It enables near-native execution speed in a web browser, making it possible to port desktop applications (like AutoCAD) and video games (e.g. Doom 3) It has the potential to change websites from what we know them today to something much more.

Learn Rust and WebAssembly. This is the 5th post in the Start Rust focus series. Other posts include: My first cup of Rust My second cup ofRust The Rustlings exercises — part 2 Rust on the front-end (this post) Learning Rust is a long process; learning WebAssembly even more so.
SNIPCART·4yWebAssembly vs. JavaScript: The Complete Guide
WebAssembly (WASM) was designed with a single aim: to execute efficient modern browser-based apps at high-performance levels. It is a low-level, bytecode, assembly-like language designed to run natively on the web. We take a long hard look at WebAssembly, how it works, what makes it different from JavaScript, and the last burning question: is it better than JavaScript?
The New Stack·5yWhat Is WebAssembly and Why Do You Need It? – The New Stack
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.
The New Stack·5yBuild a WebAssembly App with Rust – The New Stack
In this tutorial, we’re going to combine the power of WebAssembly and the flexibility of Rust programming language to build a very simple “Hello, World!” app. I’ll be demonstrating on Ubuntu Desktop 20.04, so if you use a different platform for your development needs, you will have to alter the process (specifically the installation steps) in order to make it work.
Quastor Daily·4yClean Code - Part 2
Clean Code’s recommendations on how to write readable functions. This advice is geared towards functions written in an OOP language, although many of the concepts carry over to other language paradigms. The majority of your functions should be less than 15 lines long, and they should hardly ever be more than 20 lines long.
