How does corona html5 build work does it use wasm?

I know it’s still in beta but i’m just amazed how it runs so smooth across browsers. I’m not really sure how corona makes this work. Does it use web assembly? But by reading the html5 code I can’t really see the evidence(maybe because i’m such a newbie in wasm etc.)

I hope I get to know some of the internals of corona sdk html5 build so that I can decide when and when not to use it. 

Our HTML5 support is based on emscripten.

Does that mean it compiles to wasm code or does it compile to js using something like asm.js?

Looks like it’s asm.js: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emscripten

Well the wiki says it can be compiled into both asm or wasm so … but thanks anyway i guess you did your best to answer. :slight_smile:
