Learn ASSEMBLYSCRIPT with Real Code Examples

Math-heavy computations in browser games

Image or audio processing modules

Smart contracts on NEAR Protocol

Cryptographic functions compiled to Wasm

Data transformations in edge computing

Ensure types are AssemblyScript-compatible

Check linear memory bounds for array access

Validate imports and exports in JS host

Use `--validate` flag for Wasm verification

Check compiler version for breaking changes

Unit test with as-pect framework

Verify exported functions via JS host

Test memory allocations and buffer access

Benchmark performance-critical functions

Check WASI integration for server-side use

Deploy `.wasm` modules in web apps

Integrate in Node.js backend via `WebAssembly` API

Use in blockchain smart contracts

Deploy to edge workers with Wasm support

Bundle with NPM packages for reuse

AssemblyScript compiler (`asc`)

as-pect testing framework

asbuild/ascconfig.json for project management

npm for dependency management

WebAssembly Studio for online experimentation

Node.js and browser JavaScript

Blockchain runtimes (NEAR, Polkadot, Substrate)

Edge computing platforms (Fastly, Cloudflare Workers)

WebAssembly System Interface (WASI)

Other WebAssembly languages for interoperability

Reuse AssemblyScript utility functions

Batch operations to minimize JS-Wasm calls

Keep memory footprint small for browser

Use automated tests with as-pect

Document host interop clearly

Debugging in Wasm is harder than JS

Managing linear memory safely

Interop performance between JS and Wasm

Limited standard library compared to TS/JS

Tooling and ecosystem smaller than Rust or C++
