wasm-matrix
A Matrix Effect in your terminal using AssemblyScript 🚀 and WASI 🧩 . Deployed to WAPM 📦 .
Uses the AssemblyScript WASI bindings, with some help from Wasa.

Usage
Install using WAPM:
wapm install -g torch2424/wasm-matrix
And then run wasm-matrix:
wapm run wasm-matrix -l $LINES -c $COLUMNS
Caveats
Currently, in version 0.0.1 this isn't using the clock subscription, and using an old school while(true) loop to run the matrix. Thus, this will peg a core of CPU, wouldn't suggest running this on a cheap single core droplet (server). 🙂
