JavaScript vs. Wasm: Which Is More Energy Efficient and Faster?

Which runs faster and is more energy-efficient: https://thenewstack.io/javascript-developers-on-what-matters-and-whats-next/ or https://thenewstack.io/key-concepts/wasm/? “In our wildest predictions, we see Wasm completely pushing out native apps from operating systems and crowning the web browser as the operating system of the twenty-first century.”

“Micro-benchmarking is one of the principal ways to measure the performance of a software system, thus, Wasm is no exception.

When it came to the micro-benchmarks, in some cases JavaScript could be more energy-efficient and faster than Wasm.

However, if Wasm were further developed, it might take the place of JS in some applications because of its faster loading times and more effective resource usage.”
