Your Browser on Ruby

This talk is about my quest to bring Ruby to the browser via WebAssembly. In it, I will introduce WebAssembly in a beginner-friendly way and explore the idea of alternative frontend languages, and walk through what's involved in making that a reality.

About Nick Johnstone

I love making stuff with computers, especially tools that help other people express themselves, understand or improve the world.

I'm always interested in learning more about what we can achieve with computers, and I love sharing that knowledge around.When I'm not doing that, I enjoy cycling, video games, playing the piano poorly and going for walks.
