What is WebAssembly?

WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. Wasm is designed as a portable compilation target for programming languages, enabling deployment on the web for client-side and server-side applications. It allows near-native performance in web browsers, and is also used in other environments like embedded systems and cloud computing.
