The Future of Web Development: AI, WASM and Edge

The web is a living organism that mutates every year. What is standard today is “legacy” tomorrow. What does the near future hold?

WebAssembly (WASM): Native Power

JavaScript is no longer alone. WebAssembly allows compiled code from languages like Rust, C++, or Go to run in the browser at near-native speed. This opens the door for video editors, complex 3D games, and design tools (like Figma) running fluently in a Chrome tab.

AI in the Workflow

Artificial Intelligence will not replace programmers, but programmers who use AI will replace those who don’t. Tools like Copilot or local models are transforming development from “writing syntax” to “supervising logic and architecture”.

Edge Computing

The centralized server is dying. With Edge Computing, your backend code runs on distributed servers as close to the user as possible (like Cloudflare Workers). This eliminates latency and enables instant global applications.

”Full Stack” Frameworks

The line between frontend and backend is blurring. Frameworks like Astro, Next.js, or Remix allow handling database and UI in the same project, greatly simplifying deployment and maintenance.

The future is fast, distributed, and machine-assisted. Are you ready?
