I'm completely new to WASM but excited to learn — how did you use the Squoosh repo to turn it into WASM, and how did you embed that into your app? Is that just a static file you can "import" and use in the client?
And can anything be "turned into" WASM (e.g. a python library), or is that kind of a new paradigm of writing code from scratch?
> Any pure Python package with a wheel available on PyPi is supported. Many packages with C extensions have also been ported for use with Pyodide. These include many general-purpose packages such as regex, PyYAML, lxml and scientific Python packages including NumPy, pandas, SciPy, Matplotlib, and scikit-learn.
For now wasm can be compiled from C,C++, Rust and Go, so mostly compiled languages. https://emscripten.org/ can help compile C,C++, Rust and Go has native support to compile. There is also a Typescript like language which compile to wasm(assembly script)
Python or most dynamic languages are too difficult to compile to wasm.
WASM is a compilation target for AOT compiled code.
