When your event agency gets the briefing wrong and you need to invent a new technology to save the message… You knew css-in-js, but now introducing CSS in C++, aka. css-in-cpp, compiled to #WebAssembly with #emscripten. (At Google I/O Connect in Bengaluru, India.)
WebAssembly: Yes, but for What?, by @wingo (@acmqueue.bsky.social):
We can use #AI to find more efficient method translations during just-in-time compilation of livecoded systems. #smalltalk #webassembly #catalyst

The #Catalyst #Smalltalk virtual machine is written in Smalltalk and decompiles itself to #WebAssembly. Here's how it works... https://thiscontext.com/2025/07/22/decompiling-the-catalyst-virtual-machine-into-webassembly-from-smalltalk
Damn... Rust devs going crazy with these libraries.
**sledgehammer_bindgen**
Breaking the performance barrier of WASM/JS communication.
Faster Rust batched bindings for JS code.
Covered:
Build an HTTP handler in Rust
Deploy it with modern Wasm runtimes
Debug, profile, and monitor your Wasm backend
Wrap it up with a working calculator API

How hard can it be? That question led to a #WebAssembly adventure at #oSC25, featuring music tech, retro vibes, and real-world lessons on porting apps like #LGPT across devices! From handhelds to the browser, this one’s for the tinkerers. #openSUSE #WASM https://youtu.be/pq-04MlLAnM?si=m4y_MdO-dkh7wV11
Announcing Trevor's Tutorials, a new series of free programming tutorials on game development using Go + Ebitengine.
Build your own interactive audio-visual environment from scratch!
Discover how #Rust + #WebAssembly empower developers to create real-time, browser-based creative computing tools. Watch Phoomparin share the journey of building performant, interactive AV experiences on the web.

https://wasmassembly.libsyn.com/dart-flutter-and-wasmgc-with-mer-aacan-and-martin-kustermann
In this episode of WasmAssembly, I chat with Ömer Ağacan & Martin Kustermann from the Dart team at Google about #Dart, #Flutter, #WasmGC, dart2wasm vs dart2js, Jaspr, and the future of #WebAssembly—both in and beyond the browser. A must-listen for #Wasm nerds!

Getting an #LLM to fix your #WebAssembly type errors is a great way to blow through a lot of tokens. Gets there in the end, though.
Curious about #WebAssembly but don’t know where to start? Follow the fun journey explained at #openSUSE Conference of porting Little Piggy Tracker (a Game Boy-inspired audio app) to handhelds & the browser. #oSC25 #WASM https://youtu.be/pq-04MlLAnM?si=m4y_MdO-dkh7wV11
I think the name has caused confusion and held it back.
I know I reflexively ignored and skipped over any mention of #WebAssembly until I realized very recently that it:
1) Is general purpose and not actually a "web" thing.
&
2) Isn't yet another name for #JavaScript.

#Blosc2 now runs directly in your browser! Leveraging the power of #WASM, #Pyodide, and #JupyterLite, you can harness efficient, adaptable compression through the web's universal interface. Experience the future of large-scale data processing without leaving your browser window.
Compress Better, Compute Bigger, Share Faster
A look at the state of #WebAssembly, as it turns 10. It’s getting traction in some areas (though notably game engines aren’t one of them), though a pain point is its low-level model and lack of any standard implementation of structured types or garbage collection making interfacing with dynamic languages, or indeed the web DOM, a pain. As with Java, though, the web may not be where it ends up.
