WebAssembly from the Ground Up

Is it almost the end of February already??

Yes, yes it is. Which means we just sent out our #Wasm tidbits.

Happy Friday! We just published a new blog post —

A WebAssembly Interpreter: Part 2
→ https://wasmgroundup.com/blog/wasm-vm-part-2/

In the first post, we wrote a small #Wasm interpreter from scratch in JS. In Part 2, we extend the interpreter to support local and global variables.

Just sent out our #Wasm tidbits for January. All the coolest kids at FOSDEM subscribe, why don't you?

Yikes, just saw the typo we made here. 😬

The package name is @wasmgroundup@hachyderm.io/emit (fixed)

Ohhh this is cool: https://github.com/dy/jz

JS syntax that compiles to pure WASM. No runtime, no GC.

Are you sad that Advent of Code is already over, and looking for a new challenge to close out the year?

Why not learn some #Wasm? Until Jan 7, you can get our book for 25% off!

Just head to https://wasmgroundup.com and use the code HOLIDAY25.

RE: @mattgodbolt@hachyderm.io

If you're into compilers or interested in low-level programming, you should be following the Advent of Compiler Optimizations…it's been great so far!

I don't check LinkedIn very often, but today it was worth it. 😊

One of our goals in the book was to encourage readers to become familiar with the WebAssembly spec.

That's why, in the library we create for producing Wasm modules, we aim for "eyeball-closeness" with the spec.

Right: the 1.0 spec text.
