The State of Scala on WebAssembly
Rikito Taniguchi

WebAssembly is increasingly used beyond browsers for serverless, sandboxing, AI workloads, and more. This talk explores the current state of Scala on Wasm with Scala.js and scala-wasm, an experimental project targeting standalone runtimes, WASI, and the Component Model. This session covers current capabilities, limitations, and future directions.
