How hard can it be? That question led to a #WebAssembly adventure at #oSC25, featuring music tech, retro vibes, and real-world lessons on porting apps like #LGPT across devices! From handhelds to the browser, this one’s for the tinkerers. #openSUSE#WASMhttps://youtu.be/pq-04MlLAnM?si=m4y_MdO-dkh7wV11

New #WasmAssembly podcast 🎙️ episode! Dart, Flutter, and WasmGC:
🍿 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgOABOvtBT8
🎧 https://wasmassembly.libsyn.com/dart-flutter-and-wasmgc-with-mer-aacan-and-martin-kustermann
🚀 In this episode of WasmAssembly, I chat with Ömer Ağacan & Martin Kustermann from the Dart team at Google about #Dart, #Flutter, #WasmGC, dart2wasm vs dart2js, Jaspr, and the future of #WebAssembly—both in and beyond the browser. A must-listen for #Wasm nerds!

I think the name has caused confusion and held it back.
I know I reflexively ignored and skipped over any mention of #WebAssembly until I realized very recently that it:
1) Is general purpose and not actually a "web" thing.
&
2) Isn't yet another name for #JavaScript.
A look at the state of #WebAssembly, as it turns 10. It’s getting traction in some areas (though notably game engines aren’t one of them), though a pain point is its low-level model and lack of any standard implementation of structured types or garbage collection making interfacing with dynamic languages, or indeed the web DOM, a pain. As with Java, though, the web may not be where it ends up.

Native JS templating: helps JavaScript developers. Direct WASM→DOM: helps EVERY language. Rust, Go, C#, Zig, Swift, Kotlin... all get first-class web UI performance. That's real platform evolution. We shouldn't be adding more JS-specific APIs when we could be opening the web to all languages equally. The web platform should be language-agnostic at its core. #compsci#webdev #webassembly#programming

awesome!
In the long run it might also make the online transcoding tools with the "Start now" [to download malware]-button obsolete.
Funnily I talked about this [soon solved] problem with my funder @clemensg by phone today.
#transcoding #encoding #video #browser #ffmpeg #webassembly #clientside #videoconverter
just et. al. too
please save us from uploading duplicate files or journalists from writing alt twice with clientside content-id comparison.

That's a neat idea!

Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.
I read some time ago of people using #webAssembly to transcode video in a user's web-browser. https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23/ffmpeg-webassembly.html
Since then, I believe #WebGPU has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.
I have not seen any #peertube capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.
I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.
My own interest is seeing a #Piefed (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could #autotranslate posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!
Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.
