Description:

In recent years, Python's presence in the browser has surged, with innovations like Pyodide, CPython on WASM, and PyScript leveraging the capabilities of WebAssembly. This talk delves into the core of WebAssembly, dissecting its strengths, weaknesses, limitations, and future prospects. Additionally, we'll explore its utility beyond the confines of the browser environment.

Targeted at an intermediate/advanced audience, this talk assumes no prior knowledge of WebAssembly but requires a basic understanding of compilers, interpreters, and bytecode concepts. While the introduction ensures accessibility to newcomers, the discussion swiftly progresses to delve into low-level technical intricacies. Topics include pivotal aspects relevant to the Python ecosystem, such as WASI vs. emscripten, dynamic linking, JIT compilation, and interoperability with other languages.

Prerequisites:

Basic understanding of the below concepts: - Compilers(Compilation process) - Interpreters - Bytecode
