The Bytecode Alliance: Building a secure, composable future for WebAssembly

Can you use wasm instead of regular js/html? I'm thinking for rich GUIs it would be great, even just for company internal sites. I can't find any good examples though.

I have a recent note that says (from HN id=21495338), try makepad.github.io/makepad . My recollection is that this is such an example.

Yes, of course, you can draw anything on a regular HTML canvas and all you need is a thin layer of JS to do some interfacing.

However, I'd discourage you build complex GUI-s in WA. If you do that it means that you have to reimplement everything how the browser works and your end users are accustomed to.

Rust has libraries for this.
