Analyzing the Performance of WebAssembly vs. Native Code
I never expected WebAssembly to be as fast as native only to be significantly faster than JavaScript.Considering the popularity of Electron, if WebAssembly does get as fast as native or at least 80% there (and that's a really big if) it would easily become the cross platform language for the vast majority of desktop applications.For mobile we will always be dragged down by Apple and its reticence to embrace web technologies. It's 2019 and we can't even show a add to home screen native banner.
