  • plugins

    plugins to extend fiug 🔌 (by fiugd)

    • This is awesome! Thanks for providing more details (was a bit hard to notice at first) [0].

    For folks here interested in doing this kind of thing (one example is for building web-available IDEs) the other way to run languages in the browser is to find implementations of the language in JavaScript like Brython for Python and there are a few Schemes that come to mind. I wrote a bit about this here [1].

    Some people have taken this even further [2, 3].

  • v86

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

    • This is quite impressive.

    I would love to see if we can have something similar that doesn't require JS at all, so we can execute x86 programs server-side just using Wasm translation (hi Wasmer).

    Here's another interesting project I found recently that I think fits as well on the asm2wasm translation mechanism: https://github.com/copy/v86/

  • proposals

    Tracking WebAssembly proposals (by WebAssembly)

    • That's via emscripten. I suspect by "directly" they meant something like Python bytecode -> WASM. Which I think might be possible later, when some of the proposals[1] like GC, exceptions, etc, are done.
