The WebAssembly specification has gained phenomenal traction with its recent adoption by major industry players like Adobe, Google, and, more recently, Docker. It is no longer just restricted to the browser and is finding its way into server-side applications too! One of the major & recent developments in the ecosystem is that of the component model.
In this talk, the speaker will delve into the component model proposal for WebAssembly by discussing the motivations for its existence. With the help of analogies, the speaker will guide the audience through the various nuts and bolts of the proposal in detail. At the end of the session, the speaker aims to arm the audience with a working knowledge of the component model and resources to pursue further research and get involved in the Wasm community, should they wish to.
