Web Assembly and the future of the Web #155

Closed shakyShane closed 5 years ago

shakyShane commented 5 years ago

Over the years we've seen many attempts by developers to avoid writing Javascript at all costs - creating new languages that compile into JavaScript is still a common practice in many language communities.

But things are changing, for the better. We're reaching an age where potentially any high-level language will one day be able run in a browser, with greater speed and safety - all thanks to Web Assembly.

This talk will provide practical information about how you can take code written in a shiny new language like Rust, compile it to a Web Assembly module and then execute it in the browser.

awesome! thanks @shakyShane for another talk proposal - it would be great to have you back... Looking at the schedule (we don't meet in December) - how are you for January 23rd?

shakyShane commented 5 years ago

@admataz Yep, 23rd Jan 2019 would suit me :)

shakyShane commented 5 years ago

hi @admataz - yes that all sounds perfect, really looking forward to it :)

I realised I was a bit ambitious with the amount of content - I've slightly altered the focus to be more about Web Assembly than Rust. I've updated the title & description of this issue, will that populate to the website?

See you Wednesday :)

admataz commented 5 years ago

that's great - I'll regenerate the website with your new talk description - see you there

shakyShane commented 5 years ago

@admataz - one last thing, should the presentation be in 4:3 or 16:9? :)

admataz commented 5 years ago

16:9 should be good
