    But keep in mind, PDFs can be fully or partially made of images, and if you want text out of those, you will need to OCR them. There's tesseract.js for that.

  • assemblyscript

    A TypeScript-like language for WebAssembly.

    Project mention: Announcing TypeScript 5.0 | reddit.com/r/programming | 2023-03-16

    If you have heard of WASM, AssemblyScript allows you to use specific integer/floating point types and I think it's cool that they're using TypeScript syntax.

    Project mention: My first idea that I want to write in Go | reddit.com/r/golang | 2023-01-25

    Could try looking at wails. I don’t really ever do any GUI programming, especially in Go. But it and Fyne are probably gonna be your best, easiest route. Though, I do know there are also bindings for Qt

  • mal

    mal - Make a Lisp

    Project mention: What do I do now? | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2023-03-22

    Write a small programming language (lisp (https://github.com/kanaka/mal) or brainfuck) in C++ to learn the syntax more. This will teach you a lot about programming languages in general.

    Project mention: How Discord Stores Trillions of Messages | reddit.com/r/programming | 2023-03-06

    I have written a front-end (website) application in Rust that is used internally in production. I wouldn't recommend to use something like sycamore, leptos, dioxus, yew for you next puplic web-app now but i can absolutely see how this is used in the future as those libs mature.

  • wasm3

    🚀 A fast WebAssembly interpreter, and the most universal WASM runtime

    Project mention: Towards a modern Web stack (by Ian Hickson, author of the HTML5 spec and current Flutter tech lead) | reddit.com/r/rust | 2023-02-05

    On other benchmarks I'm seeing numbers closer to 20% slower, e.g. https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3/blob/main/docs/Performance.md and https://github.com/second-state/wasm32-wasi-benchmark. It's numerical code, which is the best case scenario for a native binary. It's much closer on an average web app or server workload, e.g. https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.html - you can find WASM frameworks that beat most JS frameworks on there, but that is not as impressive considering the state of the JS ecosystem. Overall, it's already under 50%, and there is still plenty of room for improvement.

  • wabt

    The WebAssembly Binary Toolkit

    Project mention: Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)! | reddit.com/r/rust | 2023-01-30

    I'm trying to get a basic Rust webassembly program, then porting it to C via wasm2c. The example works, but when I use wasm-bindgen and analyze it with wasm2wat, I get an import "env". The issue is that in C (wasm2c) it comes out as struct Z_env_instance_t; and I can't instantiate it (as in Z_env_instance_t env; to pass it's address to Z_wasm_client_bg_instantiate.
