On this WasmAssembly podcast episode, host Thomas Steiner speaks with David Kircos from Quadratic. They discuss how Quadratic's spreadsheet utilizes WebAssembly to enable scientific computing directly in the browser, leveraging tools like Pyodide, pandas, and numpy. The conversation also covers practical challenges such as bundling large-scale Wasm applications, exploring browser limitations, and Quadratic's integration of AI.

This is a special episode of the WasmAssembly podcast, recorded at the June face-to-face meeting of the WebAssembly community group that took place at the WebAssembly Research Center of the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Thomas Steiner was there for two days, day zero, a pre-event in the form of an academic research day, and day one of the actual face-to-face meeting. While there, he spoke with a lot of the attendees, and this episode will give you a bit of an impression of what was presented and discussed during the meeting.

In this episode, Thomas Steiner chats with Francis McCabe from Google, who's the champion of the JavaScript Promise Integration and the Stack Switching proposals. They go from talking about synchronous assumptions in code over to discussing the JavaScript Promise Integration (JSPI) proposal and how to use it in practice, its performance implications, and how to use it in practice. After exploring a neat side effect of JSPI, namely lazy loading, the fall into the rabbit hole of comparing JSPI to the upcoming ES module integration of Wasm. Finally, Francis gives an overview of his other early stage Stack Switching proposal.
