WebAssembly Migration with Nicolo Davis

WebAssembly allows for the execution of languages other than JavaScript in a browser-based environment. But WebAssembly is still not widely used outside of a few particular niches such as Dropbox and Figma. Nicolo Davis works on an application called Boardgame Lab, and he joins the show to explain why WebAssembly can be useful even for a simple application. Nicolo also shares his reflections on TypeScript, Rust, and the future of web development. He talks through the client/server interaction, performance, error handling, and the process of an actual migration. Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com
