#WASM / #WASI based #plugin architectures vs #AGPL?

I assume this is valid, but #IANAL and unsure if it is indeed the case:

- If the core system is AGPL-licensed and integrates a Wasm WASI runtime.
- Then 3rd-party WASI Components can have different licenses.
- Esp. when they are downloaded and installed at run-time.

OTOH perhaps not.. and it depends on who designed the #WIT #RPC interface, and what its #license is.

What about plugins in GitRoot? They are essential. Without them, you just have #Git repositories; with them, you get a full-featured #forge.

Currently, plugins are #wasm binaries following the #wasi specification. They can read/write to your Git repository and web space (files in a directory).

They are triggered on every push diff, depending on your `.gitroot/plugins.yml` configuration. More on plugin rights: https://gitroot.dev/doc/how-tos/plugin_rights.html

Community work in the Swift for Wasm ecosystem has gained momentum and deserves regular status updates at this point. Here's what we've achieved just in the last few months: https://forums.swift.org/t/swift-for-wasm-september-october-2025-updates/82966

It's all still experimental and not super tightly sandbox secure yet, but #WASI support in Node.js is very much a thing: https://nodejs.org/api/wasi.html. #TIL 🤯 #Wasm #WebAssembly

I didn't realize you could mix `import` and `require()` in Node.js now, I always thought it was either ESM or not, but you can mix: https://nodesource.com/blog/nodejs-22-features.

```js
import { createRequire } from 'module';
const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);
const pkg = require('./package.json');
```

I likewise had no idea #WASI (that is, #WebAssembly System Interface) was a thing in Node.js. Need to investigate more…

Show HN: Faasta – A self-hosted Serverless platform for WASM-wasi-HTTP in Rust

https://github.com/fourlexboehm/faasta

#github #rust #wasi #wasm

TinyGo 0.37 is released! That was fast, especially with all the excellent work that made it in:
- updated WASI support with latest from the Bytecode Alliance
- faster speed+PIO support on RP2350
- new Linux GC

Plus critical fixes too!

Full changelog: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/releases/tag/v0.37.0

#tinygo #golang #wasm #wasi #embedded #rp2350 #rp2040

We released @TinyGo 0.36 yesterday with so many improvements for WASM/WASI & oh yeah, Go 1.24 support too!

Thank you to the awesome community of human beings who work together across the entire planet to collaborate on this project. You are appreciated!

#golang #tinygo #wasm #wasi #embedded

We're working on directly emitting Wasm Component Model & WASI Preview 2 binary, aiming to support "server-side Wasm".It's still a PoC, and the API will probably change, but… we can now call Rust functions from Scala! (1/3)
#scala #wasm #wasi

TinyGo 0.36 is released & we've got what you need right now: initial Go 1.24 support, many WASM/WASI improvements & fixes, RP2040/RP2350 enhancements, LLVM 19, & so much more! Full changelog here:

https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/releases/tag/v0.36.0

#tinygo #golang #wasm #wasi #embedded

🦫 Go 1.24 boosts WebAssembly with go:wasmexport! Export Go functions to Wasm & build WASI reactors with ease. Can’t wait to see what the community builds! ⚡🔧
