Project aims to integrate a WebAssembly back-end into the Swift compiler, allowing Swift developers to build apps for the web browser
A new open source project called SwiftWasm aims to integrate a WebAssembly back-end into the official Swift compiler. The project, still in the earliest stages, would allow developers to use the Swift programming language to build applications that run in web browsers.
SwiftWasm compiles Swift code to WebAssembly, which provides a target binary format that allows languages besides JavaScript to be compiled to run in a browser. Developers can try Swift on WebAssembly now using SwiftWasm’s cloud-hosted toolchain, and run the resulting WebAssembly executables in both browsers and stand-alone WebAssembly runtimes.
