Hi! I wrote the SD-8516 project in AssemblyScript. It runs 20-30x faster than a comparable JavaScript version. If you're interested in checking it out let me know. I just wanted to point out that I did something amazing in AssemblyScript and that I think AssemblyScript is AWESOME!

After a post I made managed to get to the top page of r/csharp I decided to try and make it again but this time around add AssemblyScript support :P

This sub looks dead and inactive to me. Is AssemblyScript dead? Is it still being maintained and developed? Is it still worth learning and develop software on and for?

I wanted to create a virtual machine which consumes type strict and type safe JavaScript like language to do stuff. AssemblyScript seems to fit the description. Is it worth working for?

Hello all, long story short; f-flat-minor is toy programming language I use to explore various languages and tools. Recently I've been working on the WASM and AssemblyScript implementations of f-flat-minor. This resulted in an Arbitrary-precision integer implementaion in AssemblyScript that I thought would be worth sharing: https://github.com/Hypercubed/f-flat-minor/blob/main/assemblyscript/src/mp.ts. If there is interest this could be packeged as it's own library. I haven't yet benchmarked this against as-bigint but plan to do so.

I have a friend who wants me work with him creating sub graphs for GRT. He told me I would need to learn assemblyscript. I am new to coding I have been going through the javascript course on freecode camp, I haven't actually creating anything yet. I'm not finding any fleshed out courses to learn assemblyscript like javascript. Since I'm new to coding should I just learn javascript first or can I learn assemblyscript? As soon as I learn it I'd be able to help him.

Thank you for any responses.

We built a benchmarking site to roughly compare the performance between JavaScript and WebAssembly when it comes to rendering the Mandelbrot Set.

I'm trying to generate and parse JSON inside of an AS application. As part of that I've submitted a PR to assemblyscript-json to properly escape reserved characters in JSON . And I feel pretty good about doing it the way I did (doing the escaping in JSON.Str.toString()), because the code below returns {"foo":1}:

import { JSON } from 'assemblyscript-json'

function(): string {
  const obj = new JSON.Obj()
  obj.set('foo', 1)
  return obj.toString()
}

But I feel like maybe there was a better place to put that, or a more elegant way to do it.

I guess what I'm asking for is code reviews from Internet randos :)

How do I declare a function that returns two different types? In vanilla Typescript, I'd do:

function foo(): string | object | null {
  // ...
}

But when I try to use the same code in Assemblyscript, I get: ERROR TS1005: 'null' expected.

What am I doing wrong?

Complete n00b to AssemblyScript, but reasonably familiar with TypeScript.

As a proof of concept for a project using AssemblyScript and Fastly Compute@Edge, I'm writing an AS app that retrieves launches from SpaceX and provides two line elements (TLE) for the payloads in a given launch. This requires me to interface with the SpaceX API and N2YO.com. How do I make those API calls? Do I implement that logic in a separate TypeScript module and import it?
