Debugging WebAssembly with Modern Tools

Basically it is the same thing as Java Applets, Flash, ActiveX, PNaCL, just this time everyone jumps of joy using it, because it is "safe" [0].

And then use it in scenarios like IBM i TIMI, z/OS language environments, P-Code, M-Code, Dis, CLR, JVM,..., and call it "innovation".

Whatever, I just ride the wave, need to keep that CV updated.

This time WASM promises to be as widespread as JavaScript (no plugins needed) and can be targeted by many languages. Having all the major browser vendors on board helps a lot.

I, for one, am greatly looking forward to kicking JS and all its warts to the curb for my frontend code, so this article is great news. DOM access next, please!
