A world to win: WebAssembly for the rest of us
In my opinion WebAssembly and all the in-browser applications are a waste of power. Please do a small experiment: make a 30 minutes video call on your laptop using both: natively compiled skype and google meet. In my case meet drains almost 2x amount of power and after an hour-lasting meeting I have no battery left, but on one-hour meeting on skype I still have 56% of battery.<p>It's because you cannot have native performance on something that is still the virtual machine.<p>Another reservation I have is global migrate-to-the-cloud trend, where I can see heavy-CPU programs like adobe photoshop moving to in-browser, while I feel much more comfortable using natively compiled applications. It's just faster and gives working smoothness feeling. Also when I have a locally installed photoshop or lightroom, nobody requires any money from me. I can have a dedicated laptop for my photos processing, and nobody will take it from me, because I didn't pay for the next month. However this is another story of making people dependant on subcriptions in all cases of our lives...
