The advent of WebAssembly has transformed web application development, empowering developers to harness the potential of low-level languages like C and C++ in the browser environment. Emscripten-Forge, a conda-based distribution, closely resembling conda-forge, is designed to cater specifically to WebAssembly code compiled with Emscripten—an LLVM-based toolchain for WebAssembly.
WebAssembly has revolutionized web app development, bringing the power of C and C++ to browsers. Emscripten-Forge, akin to conda-forge, is a conda-based distribution for WebAssembly compiled with Emscripten—a toolchain for WebAssembly.
In this presentation, we will explore the integration of Emscripten-Forge into the conda/mamba ecosystem, adding emscripten as a platform for conda. Join us as we delve into the challenges faced when implementing such a package distribution for the browser.
We'll discuss solutions, best practices, and the prospects of creating a thriving ecosystem for WebAssembly applications in the web environment.
