This technology is currently in the alpha stage but is good enough to experiment with fully executing unmodified applications in the browser. We engineered a WebAssembly virtual machine with a fast interpreter and a JIT engine capable of dynamically recompiling x86 binary to WebAssembly code. Over the last few months, here at Leaning Technologies, we have been working on a breakthrough technology - codenamed CheerpX - to run unmodified x86 binaries in the browser in WebAssembly. We believe that a different approach is required, and we are working on it right now. That’s why I am certain that the only practical, robust way to accurately preserve Flash content in the medium and long term is not through a reimplementation. If there is one lesson that I learned from working on Lightspark, it is that reimplementing Flash is a very, very, very hard and time-consuming task.
