    Threads and Atomics in WebAssembly

    It's disappointing to see the WebAssembly/threads proposal is still only in proposal state, despite existing since 2018. It being just a proposal stops languages like golang from actually implementing support for it, despite Chrome supporting it since v70.

  • proposals

    Tracking WebAssembly proposals (by WebAssembly)

    I don't quite understand why WASM needs a GC to do DOM work, but the people behind it certainly think it does, see https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals/issues/16 and https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc/blob/master/proposals/gc/Overview.md for more.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • gc

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

    I don't quite understand why WASM needs a GC to do DOM work, but the people behind it certainly think it does, see https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals/issues/16 and https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc/blob/master/proposals/gc/Overview.md for more.
