About
The rel="dns-prefetch" attribute on 
HTML <link> elements.
WebAssembly (Wasm) is a portable binary instruction format that runs in modern web browsers with near-native performance, enabling frontend coding in languages that were not traditionally used for web interfaces, such as 
C/C++, 
C#, and 
Rust.
It is designed as a low-level compilation target with a compact binary format, fast execution, memory-safe sandboxing, and a stack-based virtual machine. It also integrates with 
JavaScript to access Web APIs and share memory efficiently.
