More releases today: New version of https://thi.ng/genart-api, an art-platform-independent API for browser-based generative art.
The new version (v0.28.0) addresses some recent (type) changes in TypeScript and updates the WebAssembly bindings to support the latest Zig 0.15.1 (just like releases of some of my other projects announced earlier today...)
Yesterday I released new versions of https://thi.ng/wasm-api (and its add-on packages), a modular and extensible bridge API & toolchain for hybrid JS/TS/Zig/WebAssembly apps, now updated to be compatible with the latest Zig version 0.15.1...
The update addresses some of Zig's breaking syntax & build system changes only, nothing on the JS/TS side has changed. As a result https://thi.ng/wasm-api-dom has a slightly revised internal structure (also a breaking change, but nothing major & unavoidable). All bundled Zig examples[1] in the repo have been updated too, take a look for reference (if needed).
FYI More details about the Zig language changes here:
https://ziglang.org/download/0.15.1/release-notes.html#Language-Changes
Specifically, the removal of `usingnamespace` has had a major impact on the existing handling of generated types in these wasm-api support packages (or your own) and now forces an additional level of hierarchy in terms of namespacing. This is because `usingnamespace` enabled a form of namespace merging, which allowed the generated WASM⭤TS interop types (written to their own sourcefile) to be merged/hoisted into the main library module.
For example, previously after importing `const dom = @import("wasm-api-dom");` we could refer to a type via `dom.WindowInfo`. Now with namespace merging removed, we have to use `dom.types.WindowInfo`. As I said, it's not a major departure, but a breaking change nonetheless[2]...
The `build.zig` file bundled with https://thi.ng/wasm-api is now also only compatible with Zig 0.15.1 (for now). Build files for older Zig versions are still included too (in the same directory)[3].
Lastly, once more for the record: The wasm-api bridge itself is NOT tied to Zig (or a particular version), however it's the main use case/language for my own WebAssembly use cases...

[2] The existing design of these modules helped to keep these breaking changes to a minimum in userland code and these updates are all following the same uniform pattern (i.e. exposing interop types via `modulename.types.TypeName`...)

Pyodide: a #Python distribution for the browser and #Nodejs based on #WebAssembly
I've started a port of Apple's #MLX from Python to #WebAssembly. If someone's already done this, please let me know.
I wrote a blog post that summarizes the current progress on Web Embeddable Common Lisp:

Blogged: Running .NET in the browser without Blazor

In this post I show how to run .NET in your browser without using Blazor, and instead rely on lower-level abstractions provided by [JSImport] and [JSExport]

The first non-BASIC programming language I learned was Karel the Robot. It’s a pseudo-Algol-derived teaching language. We had a Honeywell mainframe (this high school didn’t get their supercomputer until after I left for Japan) to build and run our programs.
Today I learned there’s a WebAssembly-based version and IDE that runs in the browser. Made me smile.

Cover Image: Browsers are in a very weird place. While WebAssembly has succeeded, even on the server, the client still feels largely the same as it did 10 years ago.
Endor is a #WebAssembly-based one-click developer sandbox experience that looks really interesting: https://endor.dev/. You can either launch a complete dev environment like an entire LAMP stack (https://endor.dev/s/lamp), or just the service like a database that you need (https://endor.dev/blog/node-postgres).
