#WebAssembly
I've replaced the inner BitBLT loop of #SqueakJS with handwritten #WebAssembly, and it still works... Now to generate and install it live from #Smalltalk.
I'm glad it's friday and can finally watch some wasm.io presentations
Everything is changing all at once!
Cool #WebAssembly app for describing files in machine-computable form using #RDF.

WebAssembly-Framework Spin 1.0: Serverless-Anwendungen mit Wasm
Huge shoutouts to @ricochetcode* for starting the recurring #WebAssembly Community Stream, so many useful tidbits in an incredibly accessible short recap. 👏
In the last edition learn about improvements to WAMR (WebAssembly Micro Runtime), the new baseline compiler for Wasmtime, Winch, updates on the specification and more! :owoCatBlush:

(*also to Luke Wagner who told me about the blessed work Bailey has been doing on this!)
#tech people - I'm starting to read about #wasm which is obviously becoming the thing.
I'm not sure if I've got why it's substantial - it's a compilation target to rival #javaScript, right? But as it stands it's not looking to compete in the space of _website_ engineering so much as offering a brower-useable destination.
So the bonus is that that non-web languages compile to #webAssembly - which means that (eg) Doom-in-browser becomes a thing (I know it's already a thing) but the existing 'transpile-x-to-JavaScript' methods aren't quite disrupted.
tl;dr, I guess - is there a 'next few years' roadmap where I, a generalist who ends up doing a lot of webdev, can start to think about not keeping up with JavaScript?
@flaki I would certainly be very interested in #tcl support on #wasm , can you point me to any more detail on this?

Working on an oscilloscope for web synth
I'm using a bilinear interpolation-based rendering method to avoid a pixelated look
Lots of very cool modern web tech in this too
Samples are sent from the audio thread to a web worker thread in a lock-free circular buffer via `SharedArrayBuffer`
There, I'm rendering the waveform and displaying it with #rustlang + #webassembly + `OffScreenCanvas`
No main thread used at all!
I just transpiled a #Smalltalk compiled method for calculating a Fibonacci number to #WebAssembly, and ran it. Now I have something to time-profile...
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:

It's now possible to execute native WebAssembly on React Native using Wasm3!
https://github.com/cawfree/react-native-webassembly
Discussions: https://discu.eu/q/https://github.com/cawfree/react-native-webassembly
I’ve been quiet lately, working on this PR! This adds support for loading & evaluating Open Policy Agent WASM bundles in an AssemblyLift function.
Hoping to have a demo written soon!
Carried on the work with #simd I've been doing recently
I've ported over the vocoder effect I built to web synth to use #wasm SIMD, now that it's supported in Safari
Changed the underlying chains of biquad filters used by the #dsp to use struct-of-arrays rather than array-of-structs, and apply 4 at a time
Good for a very dramatic perf improvement, at least 5x but I didn't do fine-grained measurement
Built with #rust #rustland #webassembly #webaudio

“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.

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:

Serverless #webassembly - good high-level article
https://thenewstack.io/serverless-webassembly-for-browser-developers/
@surma @lgarron I'm also not sure what's wrong with rollup (vite is using it as well under the hood).
@surma Yeah, I think wasm-bindgen is almost as low-level as you can get in terms of compiling from Rust to WASM (emscripten is lowest level), so it should definitely work, good point! 👆
@lgarron I assume, you've already tried wasm-pack?
https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack
If yes, I'd be interested why it wouldn't work for you.
Oh wow!
A bit over a year ago (on my mastodon.technology account), I've predicted that someone will build a collaborative video editor with #WebAssembly in the next year or so (which is this year).
Something like #Figma, but for video.
Well, seems like the prophecy will soon be fulfilled:
Zack Radisic is behind this project:

That person knows what their are doing.
Let's see, how that turns out. 🍿
On my way to Barcelona for Wasm I/O to present with @bashorov our joint talk "Introducing Kotlin/Wasm" on Friday. Never too late to buy a ticket and attend 😉

Times they are a changin’….
Not only is R able to compile to #WebAssembly and run in the browser, this is the first news article where I have seen this:
“Absolute game changer of an #RStats package," Bruno Rodrigues, author of the chronicler R package, **said in a post on #Mastodon**.”
https://www.infoworld.com/article/3690508/wasm-comes-to-r.html
So today I dug through a bunch of Go code, to then write some C bindings for a tool that runs (C)Python inside Wasm, topped it all off by writing a small Python example program as demonstration.
Neither of these languages I "know" how to program in. :blobcateyesspin:

You can now conveniently use these modern web #capabilities from C#.
