Episode 511: WebAssembly with Benjamin Eckel
You may have heard about WebAssembly. It’s an open standard that aims to help developers create high performance applications on the web. It’s a portable binary execution format traditionally used on the front end, but there are also other ways to use it. I am completely new to WebAssembly, so today we have a guest to talk about it with us.

Customer Reviews
Some episodes are true gems
Although I’m only tangentially interested in Rails, some of the episodes are extremely insightful and surprisingly deep for a tech podcast. I’ve only been listening for a few months but two episodes in particular, #195 (Prognosticating on the Future of Rails) and #199 (Memorable Tips for Working Remotely) have really made me rethink some of my assumptions. The co-hosts are great and although I do find myself skipping episodes that don’t apply to me, a few of them have been real gems.
