JavaScript alone can't handle that kind of heavy lifting efficiently. That’s where Wasm comes in. It lets you run high-performance native code (like C++) at near-native speed safely in the sandbox.

For example, I'm currently using Wasm to run a complex 3D geometry engine (Manifold) inside a lightweight CAD app (Nasscad). It gives you web flexibility with desktop power.

I used to be allergic to HTML, Node.js, and the like. But we have to face the reality that the web stack dominates now—bringing along HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Wasm, frontend, and backend.
