Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

WebAssembly 3.0 is a major revision of the core WebAssembly specification that bundles together features developed over several years into one standardized release. These include garbage collection, so languages like Java or Kotlin can target WebAssembly using the engine's own collector, along with 64-bit memory addressing, native exception handling, tail calls, and 128-bit SIMD instructions.
