WebAssembly code defines an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) represented in a binary format.
But what does this mean? Well, it means that the web now has infinite possibilities because the barrier to writing programs for the browser in different languages will be lessened.

Think about it, every browser, whether you use Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari, code is interpreted and executed by a JavaScript engine — which only runs JavaScript, but perhaps JavaScript is not ideal for every task we want to perform.

The web platform is getting a new low-level binary compile format that will do a better job at being a compiler target than JavaScript.

This talk is a reflexion about how Web Assembly will open this new doors and the impact on an already fragmented web development.
