Advocating for #Wasmcloud to adopt a OSS-first approach and use #LinuxFoundation#OpenBAO as their example of a secret store integration in upcoming RFC implementation..
@linuxfoundation projects are already seen as overly corporate, and sticking as much as possible to at least #OSS and preferably even #FOSS in docs + elaborated examples would help to not further reinforce that notion.
The sooner we move to sandboxed containers with #WebAssembly the better. We’re getting close to the point where it isn’t going to be much effort to do. It’s certainly not the only step needed but it will help.
The #game jam co-organized by Dave Thompson, CTO at @spritelyinst, starts today and are an excellent opportunity to test-drive the #Spritely#Hoot project's #Guile to #WebAssembly facilities.
Get inspired by last year's jam, and join the 10-day event..
This gives a lot of people the possibility to begin using a platform with components that they already know and love -- and it gives the ability to target any arch or os with one "artifact". multiarch builds goes away here.
I'm happy to announce I will be speaking at #RustFestZurich this year. My talk is about Linon, a graphical #RustLang application I began writing during my MSc studies at @uniheidelberg for interactively exploring the visual effects of continuous refraction or distortion of light rays. The application is based on #wgpu, making heavy use of #WGSL compute shaders.
Extension.js: a plug-and-play, zero-config, cross-browser extension development tool with built-in support for #TypeScript, #WebAssembly, React, and modern #JavaScript.
GTK uses Vulkan by default on Wayland now. The migration from X to Wayland is super fascinating and intricate. I’ve been watching it unfold for years and have fought the urge to do deep dives. Future UI toolkits will continue to use multiple rendering engines and will facilitate compiling for desktop and/or browser which is going to reduce interest in JavaScript UI frameworks. There are frameworks that behave/look the same as desktop and Web applications.
Excited to listen to the first episode of @tomayac ‘s new WebAssembly podcast where he interviews Alon Zakai about the history and pre-history of #webassembly:
Learn about some early #WebAssembly history from one of the co-creators of #Wasm, Alon Zakai! Follow along how Alon explains how we came from Native Client to asm.js and then finally to WebAssembly, and explore some interesting historical and present day sidetracks on the way.
Getting started with #WebAssembly? Let us point you in the right direction with videos on OS design, the component model, security features, generative AI and more! ▶️
Just updated all https://thi.ng/wasm-api packages, bindgen, build scripts, readmes and examples to be compatible with the brand new Zig v0.12.0 released a couple of days ago... This includes adapting to breaking changes (esp. Zig's build system) and updating the hybrid Zig/WASM/TypeScript project template:
This is huge. I’ve been bullish on RISC-V from the beginning but this is happening even faster than I expected. Between IT Sovereignty and geopolitics involving access to global supply chains, hyperspecialization of algorithms to hw, etc., it’s about to get really interesting.*
We’re one generation from the tech hacking culture of cyberpunk fiction.
HW heterogeneity will be mediated by LLVM and WebAssembly.
