For the fifth year in a row, I've had the privilege of writing an article on the state of WebAssembly.
In this article, I start off by reviewing the WebAssembly developments during 2024 like Safari rounding out browser support for a number of features including Garbage Collection, newly available features like JavaScript String Builtins and Memory64, WASI 0.2 (formerly called Preview 2) being released, Uno Platform performance improvements, Hyperlight being open-sourced, and even a NIST report on how wasm can help improve security. Then I try to predict where I think things will go in 2025.
Every year we see many WebAssembly-related improvements and 2024 was no exception. It's easy to get caught up waiting on the next amazing feature but the reality is that wasm and WASI are already very capable as we can see from the increased adoption.
