Hi
WebAssembly is a new type of code that can be run in modern web browsers 
— it is a low-level assembly-like language with a compact binary format 
that runs with near-native performance and provides languages such as 
C/C++, C# and Rust with a compilation target so that they can run on the 
web. It is also designed to run alongside JavaScript, allowing both to 
work together.

As XBASE is based on C / C++
Would it be possible for the first time to run a XBASE++ program on the 
web ?

As far as I know, this is not an option. You can of course use Xbase++ 
server-side to serve the WebAssembly code to a client - see: 
https://xb2.net/xb2net

IMHO, WebAssembly or WASM is a security concern. You may wish to disable 
it: https://github.com/stevespringett/disable-webassembly

It would be a great thing indeed to create web solutions with XBASE code.

It seems that the original Ashton Tate dBASE has evoled into such a 
solution. www.dbase.com  Does anyone have experience about this ?
Is dBASE 2019  as fast and stable as ALASKA XBASE today ?

An other combination would be Alaska XBASE +  xb2.net.
Are there any further third party products that can make this 
combination better than dBASE 2019 web ?

dBASE uses a windows server and xb2.net also
We can see it as a XBASE runtime answering the HTML calls, I guess.

it might be that Xbase++ is written in "C" ...
but we can not use "C" Compiler / Linker with Xbase++ Source.

all xBase-Dialect are 99.99% Cl*pper compatible.
Differenze is the GUI  which is based on Windows Control for Desktop.

if you want to write a Web-Server App using xBase-Dialect have a look at
