EXTENDING WEB APPLICATIONS WITH WEBASSEMBLY AND PYTHON

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This article discusses how Python programs can be run within an application that uses a WebAssembly runtime, allowing for bi-directional communication between the two. WebAssembly is a sandboxed environment for extending applications, allowing for secure and portable code to run within the same process as the main application. Python can be interpreted by a WebAssembly module, and this article presents a sample application that guides developers on how to implement bindings for bi-directional communication between the WebAssembly host and the Python code.
