Explore the potential of WebAssembly (WASM) in Python development through this 30-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2018. Discover how WASM, a low-level binary format designed for speed and memory safety, can be integrated with Python to enhance performance and cross-platform compatibility. Learn about two approaches for embracing WASM in the Python ecosystem: compiling Python functions to WASM for execution in various runtimes, and using Python as a platform to run and bind WASM modules. Examine practical demonstrations, including a fast-running compiled Python function and a Rust-based game running inside a Python process. Gain insights into the advantages WASM can bring to Python and the role Python can play in the growing WASM ecosystem.
