A first look at WebAssembly performance

Apart from general fitness for embedding and extending, I like the versatility of Lua tables:

In particular, to initialize a table to be used as a record:

    a = {x=0, y=0}

which is equivalent to:

    a = {}; a.x=0; a.y=0

and:

    a.x = nil -- removes field "x"

But I think Guido's right about 0-based indexing:

local a = {x=0,y=0} --lua table definition

is very similar to

var a ={x:0,y:0} //javascript object definition

Lua is great but that 1-based indexing is very unfortunate - works fine in itself but clashes badly with the norm.
