RustLatam 2019 - Kevin Hoffman: WebAssembly with Rust

WebAssembly fulfills the long-awaited promise of web technologies: fast code, type-safe at compile time, execution in the browser, on embedded devices, or anywhere else. Rust delivers the power of C in a language that strictly enforces type safety. Combine both languages and you can write for the web like never before!

In this demo-heavy talk Kevin will take us on a journey from the basics of WebAssembly to using WebAssembly to integrate with JavaScript, build complete websites, and even host and interpret in Rust apps.

He'll even show hot-swapping WebAssembly modules to control LEDs on a Raspberry Pi.

I like this guy!
His references to "line-noise", and his joke about "if only …, I would still have hair" were hilarious.

Thanks for the presentation about WebAssembly and the vision it has. I guess WebAssembly is about "one binary to unite us all?"

[ZenTrickz]

Kevin is deceivingly very witty! It made for a very pleasurable talk to listen to. ^_^

[Dygear]

Great talk, great overview of WebAssembly and he was very funny!

[jaysistar]

It's true that WebAssembly should probably be called Portable Binary, or something that says what it is, rather than obscure it.

[kamilziemian]

Good talk, only sound of translators is a little bit annoying.

[MakuDraw]

Lol that talk was in my country and i missed it :(

[docteurklein]

Hearing the translator behind is indeed really frustrating
