Most Dart Wasm talks I've heard are (great!) technical updates about building a compiler, etc.

This talk will focus on:

- What is WebAssembly (Wasm) and why is it exciting?
- User and developer benefits of using Wasm
- Use cases for which Wasm is especially well suited (or not)
- Why Flutter+Dart (and Kotlin) are well positioned to lead the WasmGC frontier

- Implementation considerations such as:
- How many users are likely to have a browser that supports Wasm? (Now and in the next ~year)
- Gotchas when you know some users will fall back to JS
- Embedding Flutter Wasm components in another web page
