WASM, also known as Javascript Java

Don't give Java the credit of inventing bytecode, it's a much cooler concept than that

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev -1 points 7 months ago

As with most things, it was invented in the 70s or 80s only to be reinvented again later.

Do we have 3 assemblies now?

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Actual assembly in mainstream use:
x86
arm
risc v

mainstream byte code:
jvm
.net (I think)
wasm

fake assembly people may write:
llvm
wasm

wat (web assembly text) is actually written is S-expressions, like lisp but without code as data.

Edit: formatting
