WebAssembly in Production: A Compiler in a Web Page • Brian Carroll • GOTO 2023

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Copenhagen 2023. #GOTOcon #GOTOcph https://gotocph.com Brian Carroll - Maintainer of Roc Programming Language RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/briancarrolltech https://github.com/brian-carroll https://www.roc-lang.org ABSTRACT WebAssembly has been around for several years now, and we've all seen "hello world" demos. But what's it like to deploy a large complex WebAssembly project into production for real users? Brian talks us through how he built an online developer tool for a new programming language called Roc, putting a complex compiler into a web page. Find out how WebAssembly affected the codebase, why he decided to use WebAssembly to generate more WebAssembly, and how he glued it all together with JavaScript.
