How WebAssembly and Web Workers prevent UI freezes
SMRTR summary
This tutorial demonstrates building a high-performance Fibonacci calculator using WebAssembly and Web Workers to prevent UI freezing during intensive computations. It walks through setting up Emscripten SDK, compiling C code to Wasm, and implementing the calculator in a background thread. While JavaScript performs better for small calculations, WebAssembly shines for heavy computations while maintaining UI responsiveness.
