The Six Ways of Optimizing WebAssembly
While Wasm was originally designed for the browser, it turned out to be useful for embedded programming, plugins, cloud, and edge computing. For all these use cases, performance is tremendously important and is greatly impacted by file size. In this article, we’ll look at six ways to optimize Wasm for performance and file size.

Overriding Sealed Methods in C#
In this article, the author demonstrates how we can change the behavior of sealed methods in C#. This can be done by understanding Operating System mechanisms and how the .NET platform generates and compiles code. The author illustrates these techniques using real-world scenarios, including the modification of the WinPAI wrapper.

Getting to Know Graal, the New Java JIT Compiler
Oracle have released Graal, a new JIT compiler for Java. For Java developers, Graal can be thought of as several separate but connected projects - it is a new JIT compiler for HotSpot, and also a new polyglot virtual machine, GraalVM. The initial release includes support for JVM bytecode and JavaScript with LLVM, Ruby and R in beta.

Secrets of the Bytecode Ninjas
The Java language is defined by the Java Language Specification. But the executable bytecode of the Java Virtual Machine is defined by a completely separate standard, the Java Virtual Specification, and the two are often at odds. In this article we take a look at the structure of a class file and how to create class files directly without starting from Java source, using the ASM library.

Is Your Java Application Hostile to JIT Compilation?
One of the most important parts of the JVM is the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler. However, many applications are not written to take full advantage of the high-performance capabilities of the JIT. In this article we investigate some simple tricks to identify issues that may be making your application unfriendly to JIT.
