Koru launches WebAssembly-powered playground
Koru has launched an in-browser WebAssembly-powered playground that compiles code in single-digit milliseconds directly inside the browser. By releasing the playground with an early JavaScript backend, the team is encouraging the community to find bugs and help grow the emitter in public.
Deploying a pre-alpha compiler straight to WebAssembly in the browser is a brilliant way to crowd-source QA for an experimental programming language.
* WebAssembly eliminates server hosting costs and latency, making testing frictionless for the user.
* Keeping the in-browser compiler identical to the CLI compiler ensures that bugs found in the browser map perfectly to the real project.
* The 'please break it' strategy speeds up development by generating real-world edge cases that standard test suites often miss.
