Kotlin 1.9.20-Beta2 is out! ⚠️ Since this version, Kotlin/Wasm uses final opcodes for Wasm GC and TFR* proposals. ⚠️ So, it may require updating your wasm environment! For Chrome, Chromium-based browsers, and Firefox, you need version 119. *TFR = Typed Function References
📣 Kotlin 1.9.20-Beta2 is here, with improvements on various fronts: ✅ Multiplatform project configuration is now easier with the introduction of the new default hierarchy template in the Kotlin Gradle plugin. ✅ Multiplatform project build speed has improved significantly, thanks to the full support of the Gradle configuration cache. ✅ The Kotlin/Native memory manager performs better because the new memory allocator is enabled by default, and there are performance improvements for the garbage collector. ✅ We’re introducing a new target for Kotlin/Wasm – `wasm-wasi`. ✅ We’ve added support for the WASI API in the standard library, simplifying the use of Kotlin/Wasm beyond browsers. ✅ We're working on stabilizing the K2 compiler, and we invite you to try it! Learn more about this release ➡️ kotl.in/1.9.20-Beta2

@avinash_ukr from @platformatory talking about WASM based filters using @Docker containers. Envoy is a lightweight and extensible proxy used in the Cloud Native ecosystem primarily for simplifying service to service the envoy ecosystem and its extensibility. @DockerBangalore @WasmWeekly

llama2.c runs Llama 2 models without bloated & pesky Python dependencies. That means that we can get it running in WasmEdge too! medium.com/@michaelyuan_8892… Compiling C to Wasm provides safety, isolation & portability. The lightweight Wasm can be managed by Docker / k8s.

Is there some sort of language-agnostic communication channel in Webassembly? (Like a Unix Pipe/Socket) I'm thinking of replacing complicated bindings between Rust and Typescript with a communication channel @WasmWeekly @rustwasm

Today I'm open-sourcing Tangle: a new library that automatically 'entangles' and syncs WebAssembly. Play with the demo: tanglesync.com And check out the code: github.com/kettle11/tangle

All #WebAssembly WASI programs published to WAPM.io now have Windows native executables automatically generated. Here we have python.exe running Python natively on Windows without any installation required! 🤯
