Evan Wallace (former CTO) was a WASM pioneer IMO, he has plenty of excellent explorations and works shared on GitHub. I don't know Evan, but I've greatly appreciated stumbling into his works when exploring SharedArrayBuffer and what was once bleeding edge browser performance.

Absolutely! Evan and the early team laid a strong foundation when Figma was ported to WASM + WebGL. It happened before my time at Figma, but check out these earlier posts from Evan and Jamie on the transition, perf testing, and graphs back from 2017-2018:
