The State of #WebAssembly (#Wasm) survey results got published: https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/The-State-of-WebAssembly-2023.pdf (PDF). The IMHO most interesting slide is slide 17, which names debugging and troubleshooting as one of the top challenges.

WIP. Updated a lot of the code. Added initial sound support (pc speaker) with test tune.

Now the intro can be run in DosBox in a browser!

It runs 2x fast as it should but still fascinating :)

My latest: Server-side #Wasm's Q4 release will provide a cleaner way to connect apps, followed by further improvements in early 2024. Will it be enough to convince skeptics? #WasmCon @RobustCloud @luke_wagner @hectaman #WASI https://www.techtarget.com/searchitoperations/news/366551352/Server-side-WebAssembly-takes-shape-but-faces-challenges

@awoodsnet Rust compiled to WASM, or an easier language also compiled to #WASM.

#wasm is about to annoy a lot of people

Sometime soon, #WASM will live up to its hype and change how we use our servers and cloud.

so, talk moved on to big new things coming in #Wasm 3.0 — and this stuff was super-exciting, and over and over has amazing parallels to #OCaml???

first: garbage collection? in a low-level VM???

reasoning: “GC is kinda the worst-case situation, for working on top of an abstraction-layer like WebAssembly”

(i said 'finally' i lied i am sick leave me alone okay ugh)

actually-finally, he touched on the module system, the missing pieces there, what all has been missing … and how after working hard to add and reconcile all the missing pieces to the existing modularization, they basically ended up with #OCaml-style functors … and then realized that … and then just decided to add #functors to #Wasm. 😱

(i had to duck out, so, again, no screenshots. cool as fuck, though.)

Pyysin ChatGPT:ltä esimerkkiä javascript+wasm combosta. ChatGPT tarjosi WASM:iksi Rust-toteutusta. Aaatelin, että niijoo varmaan on lyhyempi toteutus Rustilla ja siksi tarjoaa. Paitsi ei ollut. On se ihan kauhee kieli toi C ;) Taas piti Rust-esimerkkiä tuijottaa silmät sikkurassa, että mitä helvattia tässä oikeen tapahtuu. En vaan ymmärrä vieläkään, miten moinen syntaksi on parempi ohjelmistojen laadun kannalta. Luulis että tollasella kryptografialla niitä bugeja just syntyykin. #rust #c #wasm

Looking for a little light travel reading on the way to #wasmcon?

Consider "Understanding WASM, part 3: You Are Here"! It's a deep dive on system interfaces: what they are, their history, and what WASI might mean for them.

Surprising how quickly I can bash out a new article when the mood strikes...

Here's something I wrote about building a C-style preprocessor for definitions in #wasm : https://imrannazar.com/articles/wasm-preprocessor-defines

"Understanding WASM, part 3: You Are Here"

This is a deep dive into the history of virtualization technologies & techniques, in an attempt to frame where WebAssembly and WASI exist in that continuum.

Hey everyone, I just made something cool!
I wrote a fractal viewer in C++, compiled it to #Wasm using #Emscripten, and put it on my website (https://kalankaboom.net/).

I wrote an article on how I made it, and I would love for you to check it out and give me all the feedback you can!

The issue with #Rust macros running code at compile-time, and being able to access the world is a valid one.

However, running it all in a #WASM sandbox only moves the target a little. A macro can still easily insert a bunch of malicious code in the compiled code that nobody would notice. Then, when you for example call deserialize(), it could go online and do nasty shit.
