While early demos focused on gaming engines and scientific simulations, today Wasm is used in image editors, video transcoders, compression libraries, and cryptographic utilities — all running in the browser at near-native speed.</p> <p>The key shift in 2024 is ecosystem maturity. WasmGC ships in Chrome 119+, SIMD is available across all major browsers, and reference types allow passing DOM nodes directly into Wasm modules. This article cuts through the hype to examine realistic use cases, compile-target decisions, memory management strategies, and integration patterns for production applications.</p>
