Pokemon Emerald ported to WebAssembly claims 100k FPS in a browser, per a Hacker News linkage.
Perry compiles TypeScript directly to native binaries across 25+ platforms using SWC for parsing and LLVM for codegen, delivering 2–5MB executables with no runtime and benchmarks claiming up to 18x faster performance than Node/Bun.
A 35MB WebAssembly game engine benchmark highlights WASM’s size edge over large Docker images, but adoption hurdles persist due to runtime limitations and ecosystem immaturity.
Firefox deployed an AI-assisted hardening pipeline using Claude Mythos Preview, surfacing hundreds of security bugs (271 via Mythos, 423 total fixed in April) and tying fixes to CVEs while outlining a scalable workflow and CI integration.
An experimental open-source video codec project (Sinter) documents an 18.6x size gap versus H.264 at similar luma quality, attributes the gap to missing standard tools (no sub-pel motion, no B-frames, PVQ overhead, limited entropy contexts), and provides BD-rate data and a detailed feature rationale; it is educational rather than production-ready.
A Rust nightly tail-call interpreter for the Uxn/Raven VM delivers strong performance gains on ARM64 versus hand-written assembly, with mixed results on x86 and WebAssembly; the feature is merged in 0.3.0 and defaults to ARM64, highlighting both promise and cross-platform caveats.
