Lyrics

[Verse 1]
JavaScript runs but sometimes it's slow
When you need performance, there's somewhere to go
WebAssembly's here, we call it WASM
Binary format that runs super fast

Compile your code from C or Rust
Into bytecode that browsers trust
Near-native speed right in your page
Welcome to the modern computing age

[Chorus]
WASM runs fast, binary blast
High performance web at last
Portable code, secure and tight
Browser computing done right
WASM runs fast, binary blast
Making slow applications past

[Verse 2]
It's not replacing JavaScript's role
They work together toward the same goal
WASM handles the heavy computation
While JS manages user interaction

Think of games with complex physics
Image processing, math logistics
Video editing right in Chrome
Heavy workloads find their home

[Chorus]
WASM runs fast, binary blast
High performance web at last
Portable code, secure and tight
Browser computing done right
WASM runs fast, binary blast
Making slow applications past

[Bridge]
Memory safe and sandboxed clean
Stack-based virtual machine
Load your module, call the function
Web development revolution

From desktop apps to browser tabs
WASM bridges all the gaps
Compile once and run anywhere
Performance boost beyond compare

[Verse 3]
Linear memory, structured control
WebAssembly plays its role
Import and export what you need
Browser-native computing speed

Text format for debugging code
Binary format for production load
The future's here, the web's evolved
Performance problems finally solved

[Chorus]
WASM runs fast, binary blast
High performance web at last
Portable code, secure and tight
Browser computing done right
WASM runs fast, binary blast
Making slow applications past

[Outro]
So when JavaScript's too slow
WASM's the way to go
Binary power, web-based might
WebAssembly shines bright
