I use it for a web version of some robotics simulation & visualization software I wrote in C++. It normally runs on as an app on Mac or Linux, but compiling to WASM lets me show public interactive demos.
Before WASM, the options were:
- require everyone to install an app to see visualizations
- just show canned videos of visualizations
- write and maintain a parallel Javascript version
Doesn't work, neither with Safari nor with Chrome, at least not on macOS Monterey. I guess the whole stack is too modern for my 18-core Intel iMac Pro.
