Learn ZIG-WASM with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 25, 2025
Performance Notes
Near-native performance in browser for computational tasks
Low-level memory control reduces overhead
Optimizations via compile-time code execution
Small Wasm binary sizes due to minimal runtime
Manual management allows predictable CPU and memory usage
Security Notes
Wasm sandbox prevents direct OS access
Avoid unsafe pointer operations where possible
Validate inputs from JS before processing
Use strict type definitions to prevent memory corruption
Combine with HTTPS and CSP headers for secure deployment
Monitoring Analytics
Use browser DevTools for profiling
Manual logging in Zig-Wasm with `printf`
Measure memory and CPU usage
Integrate with JS analytics layer if needed
Profile compile-time and runtime performance
Code Quality
Use explicit memory management
Write modular, testable functions
Leverage compile-time execution for optimization
Test across multiple Wasm runtimes
Minimize global state in modules
