I'm working on bringing GeoRust algorithms [0] (which include boolean operations) to the web via WebAssembly. See this blog post [1] for an intro. There's also separate work on binding GEOS to Wasm [2], but I'm more excited about GeoArrow in the long term because you can interpret Wasm geometries in JS without any copies across the boundary [3].

Oh I've read [3] before, that's very exciting! I'll be following your RSS feed :)
