the future of complex web apps*
I can see in-browser games and containerized desktop application benefiting from wasm, but simple ecommerce sites without all the fluff can be just as performant with SSR or a multi-page application. For instance several years ago I built the frontend and middleware for the Hart Tools and Ryobi Tools websites using Nuxt for SSR and Algolia for the search. Images are the majority of CPU and network load and the websites are snappy as a result. Even this tech stack is overkill for what the websites need to do but my point is for general use case this or a similar tech stack won’t benefit from introducing wasm.
Yeah but that’s why the cross-post feature exists in lemmy, so users can be part of similar communities without seeing the same story duplicated on their feed or having the conversation split in multiple places.
