They also let you run WebAssembly in addition to JavaScript. It’s something I’m very excited about.

Why would you need to run wasm in a serviceworker? I thought wasm was most practical as bytecode in a client for things like games and such.

You can write non-JavaScript languages to do all the same tasks. It gives you more choice. That’s a good thing.
