Wouter van Oortmerssen — Bring your language to Wasm!

Wasm is an exciting technology for language designers: supporting a wider range of possible languages than previous “VMs“, it allows a new language to run on equal footing with others, wherever Wasm runs. This talk provides an overview of the various options and tools that can help a language implementer bring their language to Wasm. It dives into the ways Wasm is different from other platforms, how this may affect different kinds of languages, and the different ways to put together existing tools, languages and intermediate formats to make that happen.
