WebAssembly and the Browser OS

WebAssembly (Wasm) has finally fulfilled its promise. With the widespread adoption of Wasm Garbage Collection (GC) and improved threading support, languages like Kotlin, Dart, and Java are first-class citizens on the web.
Photoshop in a Tab? Old News.
We are now seeing full video editing suites, 3D modeling software, and complex IDEs running natively in the browser with near-native performance. The line between a native app and a web app has blurred to the point of invisibility.
Universal Apps
Developers are building "Universal Apps" that compile to Wasm for the web and native binaries for devices, sharing 95% of the codebase. This unification is reducing development costs and improving consistency across platforms.
