In plain words

This tool checks whether a user's web browser supports WebAssembly, the binary instruction format that runs near-native speed on the web. It is designed for developers and users who need to verify browser compatibility before using WebAssembly-based applications. The checker provides a straightforward way to test if a browser has this capability enabled.

    Hey HN! I've been working on a book about WebAssembly over the last few months, and it's finally available at http://levelupwasm.com! Why a book on WebAssembly you ask? Well... WebAssembly is awesome (obviously ) but it's certainly not the easiest thing to learn. So I wrote this book as a practical intro to using WebAssembly in your web apps.
