## 4 Tools for WebAssembly Development
### Build Tools/Frameworks with WebAssembly Support  
* CheperX is a Wasm compiler that allows developers to compile C/C++ code into Wasm modules. It provides high-performance execution of C/C++ code in web applications, enabling developers to leverage existing codeases. CheperX offers build optimizations to minimize code size and improve runtime performance [40]. However, it has a limited ecosystem and community support compared to other tools, and the learning curve can be moderate, especially for developers who are not familiar with C/C++. * Provides high performance by compiling C/C++ code to Wasm
* Offers build optimizations to minimize code size and improve runtime performance
* Suitable for leveraging existing C/C++ codeases in web applications
* Limited ecosystem and community support compared to other tools/frameworks
* Moderately steep learning curve, especially for developers not familiar with C/C++  
* Go is a programming language that provides native support for Wasm [41]. With Go, developers can write web applications and compile them into Wasm modules. It offers high-performance execution, a rich ecosystem, and easy integration with existing Go projects. The learning curve for Go is relatively low, making it accessible to developers. However, the IoT-specific libraries and frameworks for Go may be limited compared to other languages, requiring additional effort for integrating with IoT-specific hardware. * Provides high-performance execution of Go code using Wasm
* Offers a rich ecosystem with various libraries and frameworks for Go development
* Easy integration with existing Go projects
* Limited IoT-specific libraries and frameworks compared to other languages
* May require additional effort for integrating Go with IoT-specific hardware  
* Webpack is a popular build tool for JavaScript applications, including those targeting Wasm [42]. It offers extensive configuration options and advanced build optimization features such as code splitting and bundling. Webpack has a wide ecosystem and community support, making it a widely adopted choice. However, the learning curve for Webpack can be high due to its configuration complexity. Additionally, while it is a versatile build tool, out-of-the-box support for IoT-specific development may be limited. * Widely adopted build tool with extensive community support
* Offers advanced build optimization features like code splitting and bundling
* Provides a wide range of plugins and loaders for customizing the build process  
* Higher learning curve due to its extensive configuration options
* Limited support for IoT-specific development out of the box  
* Optimized for creating smaller bundles and better performance
* Offers tree-shaking capabilities to remove unused code
* Well-suited for building libraries or smaller web applications
* Requires additional configuration for more complex projects
* Limited out-of-the-box IoT support  
* Blazor is a web framework developed by Microsoft that enables developers to build interactive web applications using C# and.NET. It allows code sharing between server-side and client-side, providing a familiar development experience for.NET developers [44]. Blazor leverages Wasm to execute.NET code in the browser. While it offers the benefits of using the C# and.NET ecosystem, the performance of Blazor applications may be moderate compared to native JavaScript-based web applications. Additionally, IoT-specific libraries and frameworks for Blazor may be limited compared to JavaScript. * Allows developers to build web applications using C# and.NET ecosystem
* Enables code sharing between server-side and client-side
* Offers familiar development experience for.NET developers
* Moderate performance compared to native JavaScript-based web applications
* Limited IoT-specific libraries and frameworks compared to JavaScript  
* Wasm-bindgen is a Rust library that facilitates seamless integration between Rust and JavaScript/Wasm.
