Or have you ever encountered an issue where someone would love to contribute a feature to your application but program in a different language to you? Creating libraries that are linkable from another language, or enabling the extensibility of your application in multiple different languages, can be seen as the holy grail of application development. WebAssembly presents an incredible opportunity to solve these problems by providing a common compile-time target and system interface. In this talk, you will learn some of the core concepts of WebAssembly (Wasm) and the WebAssembly System interface (Wasi) and leverage them from your applications to link foreign language libraries and provide a pluggable architecture not limited by language choice.
