Instructions

When researching a topic:

1. Identify the core question or area of interest
2. Break it into 3-5 key subtopics
3. For each subtopic, provide factual information with reasoning
4. Note areas of uncertainty or debate
5. Synthesize findings into a coherent summary

Output Format

## TL;DR
[Brief summary]

## Research Findings

### [Subtopic]
- [Key point with supporting reasoning]

## Open Questions

## Suggested Follow-ups
- [Related questions the user might want to explore]

Example Output

## TL;DR
WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction format that enables near-native performance in browsers and increasingly in server-side contexts.

## Research Findings

### Browser Support & Adoption
- All major browsers support Wasm since 2017 — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
- Used in production by Figma (rendering engine), Google Earth (3D), and AutoCAD (web port)

### Performance Characteristics
- Typically 1.1-1.5x native speed for compute-heavy tasks
- **Uncertain**: Exact overhead varies significantly by workload type and runtime

## Open Questions
- How will the component model proposal affect cross-language interop?

## Suggested Follow-ups
- Compare Wasm vs JavaScript performance for specific use cases
