Podcast: WebAssembly on the JVM: Feature Evolution, Performance, and the Transition to Endive
Why it matters — Running WebAssembly on the JVM gives engineers a secure, sandboxed alternative to JNI for executing code written in languages other than Java, and the newer JIT‑based runtimes narrow the speed gap with native execution. The transition to Endive, managed by a neutral foundation, promises a stable, community‑driven runtime that can be relied upon for production workloads such as edge services and modular plugin systems.
