-The C/C++ encoder and transcoder libraries can be compiled to native code or WebAssembly (web or WASI), and all encoder/transcoder features can be accessed from Javascript via a C++ wrapper library which optionally supports [WASM multithreading](https://web.dev/articles/webassembly-threads) for fast encoding in the browser. [WASM WASI](https://wasi.dev/) builds, for the command line tool and the encoder/transcoder as a WASI module using a pure C API, are also supported.

 Full Python support for encoding/transcoding is now available, supporting native or WASM modules, but is still in the early stages of development.
