If you are interested in how the Fediverse really works and some of the key people making it happen, sit down with a coffee and check out one (or all!) of the presentations from #fedicon.

Mine was about my journey finding the Fediverse and eventually teaming up with folks to create socialbc.ca and what I learned along the way.

And yes, I am pretty sure we are in a Stanley Kubrick movie.

Instead of standardizing one templating syntax (that'll be bikeshedded to death), give us the primitive: fast DOM access from any language. Let a thousand templating libraries bloom - in any language. Lower-level primitives enable more innovation than high-level APIs. That's the Unix philosophy. Simple, composable, powerful. Build the foundation right. #compsci#webdev #wasm #frontend#unix

Web's superpower is its openness. Native JS templating makes JS more ergonomic. Direct WASM→DOM makes the web more OPEN. Which better serves the platform's future? The web shouldn't privilege one language. True platform evolution means equal access to core capabilities for all languages. That's how we get the next generation of web innovation. #compsci#webdev #webstandards#opensource

Why add yet another JS templating API when WASM + direct DOM access solves the root problem? Every language could build efficient UIs without the JS bottleneck. More universal than blessing one syntax. Think beyond JavaScript - imagine Rust components with zero overhead, Go templates that actually perform, or C# Blazor without the bridge tax. That's true platform evolution. #compsci#webdev #wasm #webstandards
