About this episode
In this episode, we sit down with Lane Rettig and Alex Beregszaszi from the eWasm team at the Ethereum Foundation to talk about WebAssembly (Wasm).
We explore why Wasm was chosen as the instruction set of the future for Ethereum, what it means to switch instructions sets and why you would want to go with one over another. We also dig into Wasm specifics and tooling.
If you want to learn more about Wasm, check out some of the links below:

- eWasm design repo where there are documents discussing the different VMs as well as goals, motivations and design specs of eWasm.
