the full #wasmio #webassembly play list is out! SO much great stuff I can't line up the categories easily: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP3xGl7Eb-4NtSX-wzOxUCjPsBcw2zrPA

@nigelpoulton ask Tony Kay! He and I had a long conversation at #wasmio. Great chat; there are real reasons for the different approaches.

In OSS, most of the best reasons come down to dependencies at the business level -- not engineering ones. But **some** are engineering choices as well.

Really the best conference I can recall going to, with the exception of some earlier OSS summits and KubeCons. #wasmio videos are now appearing at https://www.youtube.com/@wasmio!!!! #webassembly knowledge for the asking.

Last week at the #wasmio #wasmio23 conference our friends over at the VMWare Wasm Labs (🌐 wasmlabs.dev) presented about bringing interpreted languages to #WebAssembly — such as #ruby, #python, #php, and more, soon even comparably obscure languages like #tcl!).

Okay that was quite enough hashtags for now, but if your first thought was “…but why?!”, that's an easy answer: you want to meet your users where they are! What's better, telling your future users off with "sorry you will need to learn Rust/JavaScript/whatever first", or telling them "You know Python? Great, we support Python!"?
Exactly.

On the other hand, if your first thought was “okay... but how??” boy have I got a blogpost for you! Here we talk about how we use the Wasm Labs team's work in our extension engine at Suborbital:

#webassembly at the #edge from #wasmio: https://thenewstack.io/what-wasm-needs-to-reach-the-edge/

For those who couldn't make it to #wasmio, presentation videos are looking like they'll be up early next week. I can't wait to review all the #webassembly goodness.

Got to hang out with many wonderful friends, both old & new — and some for the very first time in-person — at #wasmio #wasmio23 this weekend :BlobCat_Love:

CW selfie, eye contact

(PS: WASM I/O was a truly splendid event and they already announced next year's event, highly recommended :kittyWant: https://wasmip.tech )

“Every big-boy language today needs pattern matching, so naturally https://grain-lang.org has pattern matching!”

Wasm I/O Dan-ception: @ricochetcode on-stage, co-presenting with @danologue who is present via a pre-recorded video, himself referring back to @sunfish's earlier talk (without knowledge of the actual contents as it happened). :blobcateyesspin:

Hat tip for pulling off this "hybrid presence" moment, masterfully executed :foxClap:

“When it comes to WebAssembly-educators, we all, myself included, have a responsibility. I need to write and talk more — as I keep wanting to do so. We all know it's still early days for Wasm, but the time is now for us (especially with the Component Model around the corner) to start ramping up our efforts on contributing to making Wasm more approachable” — Oscar Spencer, speaking at the panel discussion at Wasm I/O 2023 (paraphrasing)

“As a a devrel at @stackblitz I frequently have to liaison between engineers and e.g. product managers who have no idea what WebAssembly is. Not having an accessible description to what this technology entails is making that a lot harder than it should be…” — @sylwia at the Wasm I/O 2023 panel discussion on making #WebAssembly more accessible (somewhat paraphrased)

📸 @hola_soy_milk @k33g_org Oscar Spencer & @sylwia at #wasmio #wasmio23

I often like to say “Let computers do what computers do best”, and using IDLs (interface-definition languages) to describe the *intent* of the interface, then using binding generators to do the hard work of implementing that intent for us in a machine-understandable manner is such a beautiful example of that :BlobhajTinyHeart:

📸 @sunfish at #wasmio #wasmio32

Day 1 was great talking to awesome people about WASM, amazing community and so much dope knowledge.
Im ready for Day2, are you?
Find me and ask for Kubesimplify stickers :) #wasm #wasmio #wasmio23

I was so happy when Dinesh said he and Josh will be coming to WASM IO and its always lovely to meet my teammates, friends and great minds again 💙 #wasmio #wasmio23 #teamcivo

#wasmio panel discussing #webassembly to start the post lunch conference!

Modern machine learning stack #wasm #wasmio #wasmio23

Hey friends #wasmio 2023! 👋

@sylwia & I would like to ask for an approachable definition for WebAssembly, particularly aimed at non-technical folks in tech or emerging devs.

We’ll pick our favourite three tomorrow at our panel.

Get a treat from Vienna as a prize! 💜

Starting off now with wasmer things #wasm #wasmio #wasmio23

@evacchi is busy at #wasmio discussing #java and #webassembly

Component model looks so easy 😂
