Pandoc 3.9 was released yesterday. Release pandoc 3.9 · jgm/pandoc · GitHub
This is the first release for which an official wasm version is available. This is possible thanks to the amazing work done by the compiler builders, and also due to a lot of initial work done by Tweag. Many thanks to everybody who made this possible!
A wasm version of pandoc is now available at Pandoc in the browser

Wow! It looks incredible to use pandoc on the browser. Congrats on the release!
This is amazing!
For reference, I was interested in the blob size, and it is around 16.1 Mb here (https://pandoc.org/app/pandoc.wasm?sha1=2ab8055eb0803168da93d4b784fe40aa06551dfa). That is surprisingly small for a binary produced by GHC, but still surprisingly large for a website blob.
Anyways, it is great to see that this is possible!

Thank you! For full transparency: the 16.1 Mb blob is compressed, the uncompressed size of the binary is around 58 Mb.
That checks out. The x86 static binary exceeds 100MB IIRC.
