If anyone finds this project exciting and is interested in learning more about working on Open Source at J.P.Morgan, feel free to send me a message - we are always looking to hire experienced, passionate talent!
I wrote the C++ part of this codebase, would be happy to answer any questions about it here.
Thanks for taking questions. For a back end developer that's watching the front end landscape change from afar.. Do you feel like web assembly could potentially replace JS in the future with, say, my favorite back end language of choice?
The only thing I see languages compiled to WebAssembly taking over is development of highly resource intensive applications, algorithms or libraries. Or if there's a quantum leap with some specific language + framework that eliminates a lot of work with current frontend development. Otherwise, there will be too much fragmentation and you'll see the regression to the mean effect as has been the case with predecessors such as CoffeeScript, Elm, PureScript, ReasonML, and every other compile-to-JS language du jour.

I would like to work on cakeshop-- how do I get on touch with you?
I don't know the Cakeshop developers personally, but it looks slick!

Does it support: virtualization (showing only a view of full dataset that is updated from server on scroll) Pivoting (multiple levels/hierarchies on rows and on columns) Apart from features what part did you consider was the biggest hurdle? What browsers did you target?
N levels of pivoting on both axes.
Should work on all browsers - if not, please open an issue!

Earlier quoted context omitted.
No, when I first prototyped it I had written a Python version initially. From memory the first C++ build was ~80x faster than the Python prototype.
I'm curious if you did any profiling? If the intent was always to rewrite the whole prototype in C++ then it kinda wouldn't matter, eh?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
in that case, its actually a good naming choice, as this existed (in a closed source form) for much longer than that.
I'm not knocking the code...I think it's brilliant. I just think you're going to cross wires with Google here. Will perspective mean "filtering troll comments" or will it mean "displaying analytics in web assembly" is an unfortunate set of choices.
@dman Cool, but I'm curious why WebAssembly was chosen for this project. What was the value of using it here versus just using the Web API?
a. Filter / Pivot / Aggregate moving clientside means a lot of load off the servers.
b. Performance in wasm is surprisingly close to same C++ code running natively on the desktop.
c. Ability to reuse existing C++ codebase and use it to build both native and web apps.
