(fyi, I am not active much on social media, but when I am it is mostly on Bluesky these days)
At this point most of Tech Twitter that I used to follow is on BlueSky.
Everything is much better there: No ads, good moderation, fast & smooth, better underlying tech, and now it also has most of the people I used to follow, both tech and otherwise.
Highly recommended!
By me on the V8 blog: "WasmGC: A new way to bring garbage collected programming languages efficiently to WebAssembly"

📢 Heads up, WebAssembly fans: we have a new Wasm collection!
👉 web.dev/wasm 👈
This is your one-stop shop for everything #WebAssembly (#Wasm) and #Emscripten, curated by WebAssembly DevRel @tomayac!

🎉 Here it is!
▶️ Kotlin/Wasm on Kotlin Play!
Enjoy!

Kudos to our web team!
And special thanks to @ilia_goncharov for the implementation!
Well, Kotlin/Wasm support at play.kotl.in is coming...
Stay tuned! 📻
Interesting how missed optimization opportunities can still be found in very basic compiler code, even after many years:

Nice to see lots of work and interest in OCaml on WasmGC, and that wasm-opt and wasm-merge are helping there:

Bluesky has some problems, but it has huge potential, I think.
A lot of tech people I follow moved to Mastodon, but practically none of the non-tech (musicians, artists, activists, academics, etc). Bluesky is actually attracting some of those non-tech people, which is promising.
I'm now also on Bluesky:

Binaryen has a new wasm-merge tool that can merge WebAssembly modules together:

Happy to share that RLBox (rlbox.dev/) now uses upstream wasm2c (github.com/WebAssembly/wabt), vs. a custom fork of wasm2c to sandbox buggy libraries the Firefox browser (hacks.mozilla.org/2021/12/we…)

I'd like to leave Twitter, but while most tech people I follow are on Mastodon, almost none of the non-tech people are.
Maybe that will change with Bluesky? (I don't have access yet.)

In the upcoming 1.9.0
#Kotlin #WebAssembly ❤️🔁🔔
2nd part of size-related optimizations in Kotlin/Wasm is landed \o/
And now, on the same example, the wasm file is
🥁🥁🥁
10 times smaller compared to 1.8.20 and down to ~4.5K
And in addition x2 with Brotli -- 2K 🤯
Stay tuned! 📻

It is also a great step forward for Wasm Community since this version of @googlechrome includes an Original Trial for #WebAssembly GC.🚀
So you can use WasmGC on your site without any hassle for users. It just works! 🤯

This feels unreal! After more than 6 years working on WebGPU, it's getting released in Chromium 113, in stable and without flags! It only took a bit longer than the 2 year adventure we initially thought it would be 😅 Read more about it here developer.chrome.com/blog/we…
