What parts of Figma though? Is it just used for cpu intensive operations like triangulation of svgs to render in webgl or is the site's core logic all done is wasm?

I'm sorry, I don't use Figma but I'm really curious about its tech stack

They have a bunch of nice blogposts about that:

The main part of the app is in wasm, I believe (it's in C++ that they compile).
