## Session Type

Conference Talk

## Talk Description
For a long time, WebAssembly (WASM) was treated as a focused tool you could use to write individual, highly focused functions in hot loops by hand to squeeze some extra performance out of JS apps. With the advent of WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) and a much more mature tooling environment with attributes like wasm-bindgen, WASM can take on a more prominent role in JavaScript/TypeScript applications. This talk will focus on an example use case, a web-based NPM registry package manager, to demonstrate some of the available tools and the benefits of integrating Rust into your project.

For questions and further discussion find the speaker in the Speaker's Corner right after their talk.
