Abstract
WebAssembly is a modern binary instruction format that enables highly performant program execution in sandboxed execution environments. WebAssembly modules can be run natively in web browsers, or within lightweight, isolated, server-side runtimes.
This project explores applications of WebAssembly using the Julia programming language and how languages that leverage just-in-time compilation can function under the particular architectural limitations of WebAssembly. It demonstrates the feasibility of multiple strategies for compiling Julia code to WebAssembly, and details the future work required to run the Julia compiler entirely in WebAssembly.
