Yesterday, 05-December-2019, the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) announced that the
WebAssembly Core Specification [w3.org] is now an official web standard.
Note: at the bottom of the press release all the Chinese W3C member testimonials...

The WebAssembly Core Specification defines a low level virtual machine that via JIT compilation or interpretation allows code, i.e. C++, Rust, to run in browser at near native speed.

* WebAssembly Web API [w3.org] defines a Promise based interface between the web and .wasm resources (think Java classes) .
Note: .wasm files can execute while still being downloaded.

* WebAssembly JavaScript Interface [w3.org] is an API allowing JavaScript to interact with WebAssembly.
