What's interesting here is that you can now debug WebAssembly applications with full C++ source-level debugging directly in Chrome, complete with breakpoints, variable inspection, and step-through debugging, just like a native desktop app.

What makes this particularly interesting is the technology stack: Emscripten embeds DWARF debugging symbols (the same format used for native Linux binaries) directly into WebAssembly binaries. A Chrome browser extension then reads these embedded symbols and reconstructs the original C++ source code view in the DevTools, mapping the compiled WebAssembly back to your Qt C++ source with full directory paths intact.

All of this would have seemed impossible not long ago.

> directly in Chrome

So it doesn't work in any other browser? More incentive for those web 4.0 or 5.0, i lost count, "experts" to only support Chrome?

		Of course, because outside Apple's iDevices ecosystem what you have now is the ChromeOS Platform, with a standards body that basically rubber stamps what Google and everyone shipping Chrome forks want. It has stopped being the Web long time ago.

		It's up to the other browser vendors to implement similar extensions. It's just that most people involved with WASM seem to have ended up at Google (see Emscripten which moved to Google when Mozilla lost interest in innovating).
