Fable vs Emscripten: What are the differences?
What is Fable? F# to JavaScript Compiler. It is a compiler powered by Babel designed to make F# a first-class citizen of the JavaScript ecosystem.
What is Emscripten? An Open Source LLVM to JavaScript compiler. This allows applications and libraries originally designed to run as standard executables to be integrated into client side web applications.
Fable and Emscripten can be categorized as "JavaScript Compilers" tools.
Some of the features offered by Fable are:
- Functional programming and more
- Type safety without the hassle
- Modern Javascript output
On the other hand, Emscripten provides the following key features:
- Compile C and C++ code into JavaScript
- Compile any other code that can be translated into LLVM bitcode into JavaScript
- Compile the C/C++ runtimes of other languages into JavaScript
Emscripten is an open source tool with 19.5K GitHub stars and 2.36K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Emscripten's open source repository on GitHub.

WebAssembly
It is an open standard that defines a portable binary code format for executable programs, and a corresponding textual assembly language, as well as interfaces for facilitating interactions between such programs and their host environment.
Rust
Rust is a systems programming language that combines strong compile-time correctness guarantees with fast performance. It improves upon the ideas of other systems languages like C++ by providing guaranteed memory safety (no crashes, no data races) and complete control over the lifecycle of memory.
WebGL
It is integrated completely into all the web standards of the browser allowing GPU accelerated usage of physics and image processing and effects as part of the web page canvas. Its elements can be mixed with other HTML elements.
