Andrea Peruffo discusses the evolution of WebAssembly beyond the browser and its growing role on the server-side JVM. He covers performance advancements in Wasm runtimes, moving from interpreters to efficient JIT compilation, and explores real-world production use cases ranging from edge computing platforms to modular plugin architectures. Peruffo also announces the transition of the Chicory runtime to "Endive" under the Bytecode Alliance, detailing the shift toward foundation-governed development to ensure long-term stability and neutrality in the JVM ecosystem.
