Anyone used AssemblyScript?
-
I was having a conversation about a client who uses Rust, and was curious as to why they chose the Rust language until it was pointed out they are very much into high performance web development. You can use Rust to create WebAssembly. Ryan pointed me to AssemblyScript[^] which, given my new crush on TypeScript, looks really interesting. Still lots of holes in it, but looks fairly awesome. Has anyone used it?

Damn. Here I go again. I thought it was a cool new mono-spaced font! (Never mind)

Programmers have no clue how to write web pages that actually tell you what the damn thing is. Totally clueless about what AssemblyScript is. The most I can glean is:
export function fib(n: i32): i32 {You can use "i32" instead of "number" as the type. Ummm...I'm waiting for the "oh wow, that is so COOL!" moment. Waiting. Waiting. Nope. Done waiting.Latest Articles:

I've taken the plunge to start writing for ContentLab.io. I guess we'll see if I can actually write. :laugh: I'll try to make the articles more understandable than my code.

OK - I never heard of contentlab.io until now. So I went there. First page:
Accelerate Your Tech Resource Hub Creation Our formula for connecting brands to technical audiences is providing curated, deeply technical content at scale to reach every part of the developer experience.
(Red emphasis is mine) Reminds me way too much of an (AM radio) commercial selling web design and using every buzz-word they can come up with to impress management types. WTF isn't curated these days? Curators, I suppose. As for "developer experience", well . . . on second thought I'm already in enough trouble with these complaints.

Sometimes a message isn't for you. Sometimes it's for people with a very different role, a different way of thinking, and a different vocabulary. We actually educate marketing types on how to speak to Developer types. Want to be a case study? ;)

I've been told, now and then, that I'm quite a case. Some sort of a case, and a few permutations that aren't KSS. So what do I need to study?

A thing of beauty is a joy forever - but this'll do. OK - here's an idea who's time has come - or has its time always been here: An application to install on any browser that does just what your link-page does on all pages, automatically. You know, like the images retrieved with vs. without 'safe search' on. You have been an inspiration - now we need a developer with the proper skills.

The use case for AssemblyScript is for those who want to write WebAssembly in a nicer syntax, or in an object-oriented way. While WASM is considered a "universal target" for other programming languages, there is a lot of overhead and massive toolchain that comes with providing the source platform environment and libraries. The AssemblyScript compiler can be told to remove even its minimal OO library and just compile to the bare-spec WASM binary format; this can be orders of magnitude faster to compile, download, and--in some cases--execute.
