Web Audio Modules is a C++ and JavaScript SDK developed by Jari Kleimola and me, that allows you to port desktop audio plug-in code to work on the web and integrate into the Web Audio API, using emscripten, WebAssembly and the AudioWorklet. iPlug2 aims to make it very easy to create a WAM alongside other plug-in formats.
