What is WASM?

Once upon a time, the big brothers of the browser world—Firefox (Mozilla), Chrome (Google), Edge (Microsoft), and Safari (Apple)—sat down together and asked: Can we create a technology to speed up games on the web?
The answer was WASM.

WASM, or WebAssembly, is a machine-independent, neutral language that runs on a virtual machine. All the major browsers—Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari—support running this virtual machine inside a secure sandbox.
