Microsoft joins Bytecode Alliance to advance WebAssembly – aka the thing that lets you run compiled C/C++/Rust code in browsers

• gc

  43 921 9.4 WebAssembly

  Branch of the spec repo scoped to discussion of GC integration in WebAssembly

  

Kinda unrelated but after working with Rust/Wasm web frameworks, I'm sceptical of Blazor and how well it performs, especially until wasm gc proposal is implemented because C#. Afaik, currently it ships the GC with .NET runtime in the wasm binary which increase the binary size. I'd love to hear more about it from someone who has actually worked with Blazor

  Make images smaller using best-in-class codecs, right in the browser.

  

Like remember all those sites that go "hey we'll convert this video for you" or "we'll resize this picture for you"? Now you don't have to send your files to a third party, and you can do the conversion right there in your browser without having to download an app. Check out http://squoosh.app

• v86

  153 19,092 9.0 Rust

  x86 PC emulator and x86-to-wasm JIT, running in the browser

Yeah I mean NGL it is kind of scary that webgl is able to run a whole ass x86 virtual machine in a browser tab without so much as a permissions prompt.

• ASP.NET Core

  1,632 34,267 9.9 C#

  ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

  

I managed to find a reference to the "Mono WebAssembly runtime" in Blazor's code, so it seems that internally Microsoft does appear to refer to the runtime as being part of Mono.
