What practical use cases for #WebAssembly can you imagine?

Tell about it in this thread.

I use WASM to integrate software solutions across different stacks. For example, I compile a Twofish cipher implementation from C to WASM and use it in the browser. It’s cheap and prevents reinventing the wheel.

However, WASM has limitations: no threads, no hardware acceleration, etc.

What other real-world use cases can you imagine?

@vitonsky Seems that a popular usecase for WASM is videoplayers. Youtube, Netflix and Bilibili all use wasm.
@blyxyas how they use WASM? Why don't to use a built-in HTML video?
