A recent development in web application technology has opened up new possibilities for building efficient and scalable online platforms. A simple web app using Vite, React, C++/Emscripten/WebAssembly, and a web worker has been showcased, demonstrating the potential of legacy code being compiled into WebAssembly to create platform-independent web applications.

This innovative approach enables users' devices to perform computations at near-native speed, reducing server load. Long computations can be performed in a multithreaded environment, ensuring seamless interaction with the page and preventing browser lockups.
