A Pythonista's Introductory Guide to Web Assembly

Explore the world of WebAssembly (Wasm) in this comprehensive tutorial from PyCon US. Delve into the binary code format specification released in 2017, learning how it can be implemented in web browsers and standalone applications with security, openness, portability, and efficiency. Understand Wasm as an intermediate language for a stack-based virtual machine utilizing a just-in-time (JIT) compiler to produce native machine code. Discover the integration possibilities between Wasm and Python, making this tutorial particularly relevant for Pythonistas. While some JavaScript and web development experience may be beneficial, it's not mandatory. Culminate your learning by developing a small compiler with Wasm as its compilation target. Access accompanying slides for enhanced understanding and future reference.
