Sad day. I have a sha256 hasher in asm.js that's faster than any wasm solution.
lukan•50m ago
That is surprising. Do you know the reasons? Is it a special use case or was asm really faster? I find that hard to believe.
theultdev•41m ago
It's a custom solution, but nothing special just incremental hashing for large files.

I took off the shelf wasm crypto libraries to compare it, but the leading one was 10x slower.

can we see?
theultdev•31m ago
yeah check back at the end of the day.

will try to rip it out of the project and put it in a standalone benchmark.

There goes my plan to use js code generation at runtime to make my algorithms faster. Doing this with wasm will be much harder.

There's still AssemblyScript? It might meet your requirements, unless I'm misunderstanding you or the features of it.

Asm.js is dead! Long live WebAssembly!
metmac•6m ago
I’ll never forget watching Gary Bernhardt give his talk on JavaScript.[0] Was my introduction to asm.js, and the rabbithole associated with compiling code to run in the browser.

12 years on, it’s shocking how much of his fiction became reality.
