This article provides a comprehensive overview of WebAssembly 2.0, its cross‑platform advantages, and the most popular programming languages and toolchains—including C/C++, Rust, Go, AssemblyScript, Emscripten, Binaryen, wasi‑sdk, TinyGo, wabt, wasm‑pack and wasm‑bindgen—while discussing their strengths, limitations, and typical use cases.
WebAssembly has evolved to version 2.0, offering extensive instruction support, large memory handling, and vector operations, and is now widely used across web and non‑web scenarios; this article surveys popular languages (C/C++, Rust, Go, AssemblyScript, JavaScript, etc.) and key toolchains such as Emscripten, Binaryen, wasi‑sdk, TinyGo, wabt, wasm‑pack, and wasm‑bindgen.
WebAssembly, a portable binary format, is evolving into a mature platform; this article surveys its motivations, language support (C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, AssemblyScript, etc.), toolchains, and major runtimes such as Wasmtime, Wasmer, WasmEdge, and WAMR, highlighting performance, security, and integration aspects.
