Explore the intricacies of WebAssembly (WASM) in this 27-minute conference talk from JSConf EU 2018. Dive beyond the surface-level understanding of WASM and learn how to write WebAssembly Text-format (WAT) directly. Discover techniques for reasoning about algorithms using a large slab of memory, converting high-level constructs like loops into elementary instructions, and having fun while doing it. Follow along as progressively challenging algorithms are converted, each revealing a unique aspect of working without abstractions. Gain insights into the lowest level of computing, stripping away the enchantment of abstractions to reveal the magical machine that is the computer. Whether you plan to write WASM professionally or not, this talk offers valuable knowledge for understanding the fundamental workings of computers.
