Lin Clark on WebAssembly

 The author was talking about some stuff that immediately caught my attention, the lack of efficiency and reliability in the performance in some code created on JavaScript, most likely due to the way it was implemented and the memory management that it does in order for it to have its annoying any type for everything. As a person who has done many, many development project for web in JS, I can firmly say that I don’t like it and most of the time I try my hardest to avoid it. As a matter of fact since the discovery of Typescript I have never gone back to using the dynamic use of JavaScript. Now that the author is talking about modules (black boxes) that can be used that run smoothly on any device and web navigator. It immediately caught my attention because it mentioned that, of course, no one is going to actually write assembly code directly, they are most likely to use a compiler, or interpreter for it to do the hard work so the hard part of the development up to the compiler in quest

Building Server-Side Web Language Processors

 The author wrote an article about the incorporation of a web sided language processor.  The author argues that incorporating a web sided language processor could be beneficial to the students under his wings, due to the fact that in the 20th century more and more stuff are now migrating to the cloud, which is basically a common fact, now that servers are cheaper and available to pretty much anyone all the time. I agree with the author saying that a compiler of some sorts that is located in the cloud would be pretty nice as it would add to the fact that now computers don’t have to be very powerful in order to compile stuff, also it helps not filling your computer with thrash, specially if you are not some dedicated software engineer.  However, I, a Linux user, find it a little harsh and not very appealing to me for the reason that no matter how well implemented the web sided compiler might be, it will still be kinda slow and probably not as good as the trusty command line. Another impo
