About this Talk

Multiple mainstream languages like Rust, Go or C# are starting to dominate the world of WebAssembly. As this runtime matures and gets more and more traction from the community, you might wonder can Scala join that trend? In this talk we would discuss:

* what WASM has to offer in both web and native runtimes

* the current state of support for WebAssembly in Graal Native Image and Scala Native

* limitations and opportunities in the context of Scala

* and finally why inheriting Java language semantics and runtime is for Scala both a blessing and a curse at the same time
