# webassembly

[Daniele B]

@sdeleuze @bashor this talk seems very interesting:
https://wasmio.tech/sessions/introducing-kotlin-wasm/
I must hope you will give it at KotlinConf in Amsterdam too!

[Big Chungus]

Leaving a dot here in case someone posts a recording later.

[Norbi]

it compiles to Wasm directly without any additional layers

Wow, it doesn't even use Kotlin IR during compilation? 😐

[Big Chungus]

It does. Additional layers here means llvm toolchain old wasm32 used.

[sdeleuze]

I don't think this talk will be part of KotlinConf but I will talk about Kotlin/Wasm in mine, but with a server-side angle. https://kotlinconf.com/speakers/ce11156d-9a41-4f12-b236-3bdac0ee3a2a.

[Daniele B]

@sdeleuze I haven't really researched about Kotlin/Wasm for server-side binary compilation. Is it expected to be a more efficient format than Kotlin/Native?

[Norbi]

a more efficient format than Kotlin/Native?

... or JVM bytecode (using the language interoperability support of GraalVM when needed)?

[Svyatoslav Kuzmich [JB]]

In general, Wasm is slightly less efficient than native code. But because it is portable and sandboxed it can be, in some ways, more efficient than native + VM/container
