WebAssembly : Beyond the Browser

We have collectively come to accept WebAssembly as a standard way of making our code more safe and portable. Behind the amazing promises and demos, however, is an elaborate dance of features and protocols being established to facilitate what comes next. Scalpel-like precision is helping the design teams make choices that bring even more capabilities to the implementations that require them.

We will cover threading, the component models, WASI interfaces and runtimes, and how this is going to help us with our modern architecture complexities.
