Safari has improved its support, bringing many Wasm 3.0 features like native garbage collection to cross-browser compatibility. This enables more languages (Java, Kotlin, Dart, Scala) to compile to Wasm. Microsoft's .NET 10 improved AOT compilation for smaller downloads and faster performance. Key use cases include embedded devices, edge computing on CDN platforms, and running PHP/WordPress. The main challenge ahead is ECMAScript module integration to simplify Wasm loading, though the technology's "behind the scenes" nature makes its popularity less visible than it actually is. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
