Summary

Cloudflare has announced support for WebAssembly (WASM) in its Cloudflare Workers, allowing users to augment their applications with WASM at no additional cost. WebAssembly is a technology that extends the web platform to support compiled languages like C, C++, Rust, Go, and more. It can be much faster than JavaScript for certain kinds of resource-intensive tasks where JavaScript is not a good fit. With this addition, users can now use a wide range of languages in Cloudflare Workers, which lets them deploy "serverless" code directly to Cloudflare's datacenters. WASM is particularly useful for performing resource-hungry, self-contained operations like resizing an image or processing an audio stream.
