run .Net in your browser via DotNetAnywhere in wasm: https://github.com/aspnet/blazor-hackathon (interpreted) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiLAE6HMr10

Great suggestion, this is probably the killer app for this. I heard that the Mono and .NET teams are working on a new linker that should also help bring down the bloat, and help make .NET via WebAssembly less ridiculous in terms of overhead.

I have no idea if it would be compatible with DotNetAnywhere

In addition to this more "official" work on getting .NET and WebAssembly to play nicely, there is another effort to get a small .NET runtime working in the browser [1]. The demos are compelling [2].

Some additional updates to the Blazor project here: https://github.com/aspnet/blazor-hackathon

There is already a .NET prototype.

WebAssembly without native GC support is no different that targeting a real hardware CPU. One just has to implement it as well.

As soon as WebAssembly reaches a more mature state, expect the resurgence of plugins and this time around we won't be able to disable them.

Fancy!

blazor is not .NET compiled to WASM. blazor uses a .NET runtime called DotNetAnywhere, which is written in C and compiled with emscripten. the actual .NET IL is then interpreted at runtime by DNA.

True, but the fact is that people are already toying with the idea of bring such runtimes back into the browser.

Also if you bother to read the meeting minutes from WebAssembly meetings, developers from .NET team are present in such meetings.

If you don't feel like watching the whole thing, watch part #2, it's incredible (starts at 20:10).

The section on C# and WebAssembly is particularly fascinating, but the entire talk is extremely well done and interesting.

This is the same tech discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14697520 , but at the time nobody could find a video or demo. 'mandeepj' ust posted it to that thread, but now it's old so I thought I'd show everyone here.

And, I got it. Here is the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiLAE6HMr10
