I am a jr. Dev, but not imaginative. I find most programming languages to be poorly advertised and explained. Usually they assume too much knowledge.

What would I use Web Assembly, like Goblin (https://spritely.institute/), for? Are there examples of Web Assembly programs?

It is for web pages, or online games? Can they be run offline?

    It’s not really like MPI. It’s more oriented towards writing social software that communicates over the Internet, as a next step beyond ActivityPub. You could use it for a lot of things, but one example is to write federated software like Lemmy where you have lots of instances communicating with each other. But it makes things more flexible, you can really make any sort of social app with it.

      Ah, thank you!

      I appreciate you efforts to both explain to me and contribute to open source.
