Re:Is web assembly going to be huge? by Pigo on Monday June 04, 2018 @11:41AM (#17228927)
That's pretty much what I was wanting to know. I figure since most web apps aren't doing a whole lot, there wouldn't be call for it for awhile. But once word finally gets around to the followers, there might be a bunch of need for it.

I guess I'm trying to figure out if I need to learn something like Rust in order to keep up with what's coming down the road. I've spent so many years doing client side, I don't have as much experience with lower level languages.

I've read that some benchmarks have shown it to be light weight, but there's a lot about it that is still just out of my experience. I do find it exciting because of how powerful it is potentially. I just don't want to invest to much into it if it's not going anywhere besides a few big companies I'll never work for. I do a lot of work for companies that build actual apps, not just user friendly sites. So it seems reasonable that they could be interested in it.
