We will use this knowledge in a practical scenario: image manipulations with WebAssembly. We will demonstrate a typical use-case by a simple function for converting an image to grayscale. The calculation of the gray color is not very demanding, it clearly demonstrates the real-world usage of WebAssembly on the web: computation-intensive tasks.
