To me it's the first thing happening in web development that seems like a step change. Maybe it's early days, but I think the web becomes so much more powerful and consistent with this technology.
I'm excited about WebAssembly because it gives us something we have never had in the history of computer programming: the ability to program in whatever language we want, use libraries written in different languages (once compiled to Wasm), then build one version of an app that runs everywhere -- every desktop OS, every mobile device, every server, every browser.
And on top of all that, to have super-efficient sandboxing as well?!
Incredible!
If you want to give people just one article about WebAssembly that will give them a sense of what it makes possible, read harshal.sheth.io/2022/01/31/webass... .
On my own blog I have collected additional links to blog posts and talks, here: tryingtobeawesome.com/wasm/ .
Happy Wasming! :-D

I'm still a newbie, but I've never done anything so low level, and I've found it surprisingly approachable — for what it is.
I can ship AI applications to the web easier.
