elide VS effindice

Interesting. I'm currently doing some work to enable React SSR in the Micronaut framework, which might be useful for some people working on the JVM. There's also https://elide.dev which is a polyglot server framework that also supports SSR.

I didn't fully understand what WASM is doing here though. Web components whether React or otherwise are written in Javascript or something that compiles to it, so you need a server side JS engine (Elide/my Micronaut work use GraalJS). Is WASM just being used here as an alternative to providing a .so/.dll file?

Alpha Node-like runtime based on JVM/Graal: https://elide.dev

Remote build caching for everyone: https://less.build

Thanks for posting this thread :)

Zero info in the linked page. Here’s the project repo: https://github.com/elide-dev/elide

In summary: a Kotlin server that can run JS using a guest VM to provide server side rendering for Frontend frameworks.

Effindice is a browser-based passphrase generator implementing the EFF Dice method without physical dice. It is a simple javasript GUI application encapsulated within a single HTML file, designed to be used offline. It utilizes the javascript-fortuna implementation of the Fortuna pRNG algorithm and incorporates randomized delays to reduce predictability.

Hacked it together really quickly, emailed it to Bruce Schneier, not realizing he also wrote Fortuna pRNG, unexpected thumbs up

I wasn't happy with using random websites for generating passphrases like this.

I've been meaning to write a CLI version and add a feature to reorder the words into a more understandable sentence...
