Squoosh: Make images smaller using best-in-class codecs, right in the browser
Squoosh is the thing that really made me &quot;get&quot; WASM - it helped me understand that WASM suddenly makes the best-in-breed libraries for pretty much everything available to me in the browser, provided they can be compiled to it.<p>And the WASM sandbox should be airtight, which means it&#x27;s much safer to run C code in WASM than directly!<p>I&#x27;m mainly a Python developer, so an accompanying revelation was that projects like wasmer-python then give me the same opportunity in my default environment - call out to best-in-breed C&#x2F;Rust&#x2F;etc libraries without the risk and misery of needing to compile and package them as Python extensions. Instead, wait for the JavaScript WASM community to figure out how to use them and take advantage of their work from my Python projects as well.
