WebAssembly has been out for a while now. Do you have some interesting uses-cases?

The Internet Archive using a Flash emulator written in Rust and compiled to Webassembly to preserve historic Flash animations and make them playable in modern browsers.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25154128" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25154128</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.archive.org&#x2F;2020&#x2F;11&#x2F;19&#x2F;flash-animations-live-forever-at-the-internet-archive&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.archive.org&#x2F;2020&#x2F;11&#x2F;19&#x2F;flash-animations-live-fo...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ruffle.rs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ruffle.rs&#x2F;</a>

For me, it&#x27;s definitely Blazor: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dotnet.microsoft.com&#x2F;apps&#x2F;aspnet&#x2F;web-apps&#x2F;blazor" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dotnet.microsoft.com&#x2F;apps&#x2F;aspnet&#x2F;web-apps&#x2F;blazor</a><p>Initial load times could be still better (.NET 6 should improve that) and Visual Studio&#x27;s Razor syntax support could be improved, but other than these, as a hardcore .NET guy, I find a lot joy in working with it.

The interesting ones for me are Cloudflare workers and Fastly Cloud@Edge. The next generation of serverless, WebAssembly has huge potential outside the browser
