Your First WebAssembly Program and Web App (Written, Tested, and Deployed Entirely in the Web Browser)

SMRTR summary

WebAssembly lets you run compiled C code directly in the browser at near-native speed, and you don't need to install anything locally to get started. This hands-on tutorial walks through setting up a GitHub Codespace, writing a C program, compiling it to WASM using Emscripten, serving it with Python's built-in HTTP server, and deploying the output files to a live website — all without leaving the browser.
