I'm very excited to see how wasm is getting 1st class treatment from most browser vendors.

Does anyone know of projects that ship wasm files (preferably via npm)?

I would like to try out the streaming API but I don't want to compile C++ right now

    const module = await WebAssembly.compileStreaming(fetch('foo.wasm'));

I would love to see a wasm repl online. Something that's focused on teaching the language, not for people who are going to write compilers that target it, but for people who are confused about what it is and how it works, as a way of demystifying wasm so that they have more confidence in choosing to adopt it. Maybe something that really visualizes the ins and outs of a wasm program, and maybe some kind of dynamic visualization of how the s-expressions transform into stack-based code. Just an idea, but I think it could be useful and fun for someone to make for those of us who want to play around with wasm without installing anything :)

The best you can get for now:

https://webassembly.studio/

It's from Mozilla iirc.

It has rust!!

Awesome! thanks for the link!

Hi - we're evaluating WASM to move our native apps @( http://write.pub ) over to WASM/Browser.

Our first aim is to implement a few trivial apps without framworks completely in WASM, benchmark and move on to building the real deal.

We're currently building https://reactjs.org/docs/thinking-in-react.html in C/WASM (no Framework). Demo: http://www.write.pub/wasm-demo/hello.html
