Wasm a évolué à partir d'asm.js, un sous-ensemble de JavaScript qui pouvait fonctionner à des vitesses proches de celles natives. WASI (WebAssembly System Interface) permet à Wasm de fonctionner en dehors des navigateurs Web, fournissant des API pour le système de fichiers, CLI, HTTP, etc. Le modèle de composant WebAssembly permet l'interopérabilité entre les langages Wasm à l'aide de WIT (Wasm Interface Type) et d'ABI canonique. Les composants Wasm se composent d'un module central et d'interfaces WIT pour les importations/exportations, facilitant l'interaction indépendante du langage. Les interfaces WIT décrivent les types et les fonctions, tandis que les mondes WIT définissent les capacités et les besoins d'un composant (importations/exportations). La gestion des packages Wasm est assurée par Warg, un protocole pour les registres de packages Wasm. Une enquête a montré que Rust est le langage Wasm le plus utilisé, suivi de Kotlin et de C++; de nombreux autres langages sont également en train d'émerger.

Comment Pinterest utilise Honeycomb pour améliorer sa CI https://medium.com/pinterest-engineering/how-pinterest-leverages-honeycomb-to-enhance-ci-observability-and-improve-ci-build-stability–15eede563d75 Pinterest utilise Honeycomb pour améliorer l'observabilité de l'intégration continue (CI). Honeycomb permet à Pinterest de visualiser les métriques de build, d'analyser les tendances et de prendre des décisions basées sur les données. Honeycomb aide également Pinterest à identifier les causes potentielles des échecs de build et à rationaliser les tâches d'astreinte. Honeycomb peut également être utilisé pour suivre les métriques de build locales iOS aux côtés des détails de la machine, ce qui aide Pinterest à prioriser les mises à niveau des ordinateurs portables pour les développeurs. Méthodologies Suite à notre épisode sur les différents types de documentation, cet article parle des bonnes pratiques à suivre pour les tutoriels https://refactoringenglish.com/chapters/rules-for-software-tutorials/ Écrivez des tutoriels pour les débutants, en évitant le jargon et la terminologie complexe. Promettez un résultat clair dans le titre et expliquez l'objectif dans l'introduction. Montrez le résultat final tôt pour réduire les ambiguïtés. Rendez les extraits de code copiables et collables, en évitant les invites de shell et les commandes interactives. Utilisez les versions longues des indicateurs de ligne de commande pour plus de clarté. Séparez les valeurs définies par l'utilisateur de la logique réutilisable à l'aide de variables d'environnement ou de constantes nommées. Épargnez au lecteur les tâches inutiles en utilisant des scripts. Laissez les ordinateurs évaluer la logique conditionnelle, pas le lecteur. Maintenez le code en état de fonctionnement tout au long du tutoriel. Enseignez une chose par tutoriel et minimisez les dépendances.

WebAssembly runs in every browser, provides secure and fast code execution from any language, runs across multiple platforms and has a very small binary footprint. It's adopted by several of the big web-based SaaS solutions we use on a daily basis. But where did WebAssembly come from? What problems does it try to solve? Has it reached critical adoption? And how about observing code that gets executed in browsers, servers or embedded devices?To answer all those questions we invited Matt Butcher, CEO at Fermyon, who explains the history, current implementation status, limitations and opportunities that WebAssembly provides.Further links we disucssedLinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattbutcher/Fermyon Dev Website: https://developer.fermyon.com/ The New Stack Blog with Matt: https://thenewstack.io/webassembly-and-kubernetes-go-better-together-matt-butcher/

Instead of users connecting to a centralized server, distributed computing allows users to run services and communicate directly with each other, enhancing efficiency and decentralization. 2-Historical Context of Client-Server Models: The client-server model succeeded due to the simplicity and ease of use provided by software stacks like LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). This model enabled rapid development and deployment of web services, creating a vast amount of value and becoming the standard architecture for many years. 3-Role of Crypto in Distributed Computing: Crypto is seen as a critical catalyst for the resurgence of distributed computing. Doria emphasizes that the trustless nature of blockchain technology offers new possibilities for decentralized applications, allowing for the secure transfer and management of value without relying on centralized authorities. 4-Blockchain Scalability and Adoption: The episode explores various blockchain technologies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Tron, highlighting their unique features and user experiences. For instance, Solana's faster and cheaper transactions make it appealing, while Ethereum's robustness and security attract high-value transactions despite higher costs. 5-Integration of Blockchain and Distributed Computing: Kinode aims to bridge the gap between decentralized data sources and centralized services. By providing a robust backend solution that integrates seamlessly with blockchain technology, Keinode facilitates the development of truly decentralized applications that are user-friendly and secure. 6-Technical Advantages of WebAssembly (Wasm): The choice of WebAssembly as a compile target for Kinode's stack is crucial. Wasm offers stability, determinism, and resource constraints, making it an ideal environment for developing distributed applications. This technical foundation supports the secure and efficient execution of complex programs across various devices. 7-Future Directions and Developer Focus: Doria underscores the importance of permissionless development and stable platforms in fostering innovation. Drawing inspiration from Ethereum's approach, Kinode is committed to creating a developer-friendly environment where applications can be built, deployed, and scaled without centralized control, ensuring long-term stability and growth.

Liam Crilly, Senior Director of Product Management at NGINX, discussed the potential of WebAssembly (Wasm) during this recording at the Open Source Summit in Bilbao, Spain. With over three decades of experience, Crilly highlighted WebAssembly's promise of universal portability, allowing developers to build once and run anywhere across a network of devices.While Wasm is more mature on the client side in browsers, its deployment on the server side is less developed, lacking sufficient runtimes and toolchains. Crilly noted that WebAssembly acts as a powerful compiler target, enabling the generation of well-optimized instruction set code. Despite the need for a virtual machine, WebAssembly's abstraction layer eliminates hardware-specific concerns, providing near-native compute performance through additional layers of optimization.Learn more from The New Stack about WebAssembly and NGINX:WebAssembly Overview, News and TrendsWhy WebAssembly Will Disrupt the Operating SystemTrue Portability Is the Killer Use Case for WebAssembly4 Factors of a WebAssembly Native World

In this episode, Matt Butcher, CEO of Fermyon Technologies, discusses the potential impact of the component model on WebAssembly (Wasm) and its integration into the cloud-native landscape. WebAssembly is a binary instruction format enabling code to run anywhere, written in developers' preferred languages. The component model aims to provide a common way for WebAssembly libraries to express their needs and connect with other modules, reducing the barriers and maintenance of existing libraries. Butcher believes this model could be a game changer, allowing new languages to compile WebAssembly and utilize existing libraries seamlessly.WebAssembly also shows promise in delivering on the long-awaited potential of serverless computing. Unlike traditional virtual machines and containers, WebAssembly boasts a rapid startup time and addresses various developer challenges. Butcher states that developers have been eagerly waiting for a platform with these characteristics, hinting at a potential resurgence of serverless. He clarifies that WebAssembly is not a "Kubernetes killer" but can coexist with container technologies, evident from the Kubernetes ecosystem's interest in supporting WebAssembly.The episode explores further developments in WebAssembly and its potential to play a central role in the cloud-native ecosystem.Learn more from The New Stack about WebAssembly and Fermyon Technologies:WebAssembly Overview, News, and TrendsWebAssembly vs. KubernetesFermyon Cloud: Save Your WebAssembly Serverless Data Locally

DETROIT — Even in the midst of hand-wringing at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America about how the global economy will make it tough for startups to gain support in the near future, the news about a couple of young WebAssembly-centric companies was bright. Cosmonic announced that it had raised $8.5 million in a seed round led by Vertex Ventures. And Fermyon Technologies unveiled both funding and product news: a $20 million A Series led by Insight Partners (which also owns The New Stack) and the launch of Fermyon Cloud, a hosted platform for running WebAssembly (Wasm) microservices. Both Cosmonic and Fermyon were founded in 2021. “A lot of people think that Wasm is this maybe up and coming thing, or it's just totally new thing that's out there in the future,” noted Bailey Hayes, a director at Cosmonic, in this episode of The New Stack Makers podcast. But the future is already here, she said: “It's one of technology's best kept secrets, because you're using it today, all over. And many of the applications that we use day-to-day —  Zoom, Google Meet, Prime Video, I mean, it really is everywhere. The thing that's going to change for developers is that this will be their compilation target in their build file.” In this On the Road episode of Makers, recorded at KubeCon here in the Motor City, Hayes and Kate Goldenring, a software engineer at Fermyon, spoke to Heather Joslyn, TNS' features editor, about the state of WebAssembly. This episode was sponsored by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Wasm and Docker, Java, Python WebAssembly – the roughly five-year-old binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine, is designed to execute binary code on the web, lets developers bring the performance of languages like C, C++, and Rust to the web development area. At Wasm Day, a co-located event that preceded KubeCon, support for a number of other languages — including Java, .Net, Python and PHP — was announced. At the same event, Docker also revealed that it has added Wasm as a runtime that developers can target; that feature is now in beta. Such steps move WebAssembly closer to fulfilling its promise to devs that they can “build once, run anywhere.” “With Wasm, developers shouldn't need to know necessarily that it's their compilation target,” said Hayes. But, she added, “what you do know is that you're now able to move that Wasm module anywhere in any cloud. The same one that you built on your desktop that might be on Windows can go and run on an ARM Linux server.” Goldenring pointed to the findings of the CNCF's “mini survey” of WebAssembly users,  released at Wasm Day, as evidence that the technology's user cases are proliferating quickly. “Even though WebAssembly was made for the web, the number one response —it was around a little over 60% — said serverless,” she noted. “And then it said, the edge and then it said web development, and then it said IoT, and the use cases just keep going. And that's because it is this incredibly powerful, portable target that you can put in all these different use cases. It's secure, it has instant startup time.” Worlds and Warg Craft The podcast guests talked about recent efforts to make it easier to use Wasm, share code and reuse it, including the development of the component model, which proponents hope will simplify how WebAssembly works outside the browser. Goldenring and Hayes discussed efforts now under construction, including “worlds” files and Warg, a package registry for WebAssembly. (Hayes co-presented at Wasm Day on the work being done on WebAssembly package management, including Warg.) A world file, Hayes said, is a way of defining your environment.  "One way to think of it is like .profile, but for Wasm, for a component. And so it tells me what types of capabilities I need for my web module to run successfully in the runtime and can read that and give me the right stuff.” And as for Warg, Hayes said: “It's really a protocol and a set of APIs, so that we can slot it into existing ecosystems. A lot of people think of it as us trying to pave over existing technologies. And that's really not the case. The purpose of Warg is to be able to slot right in, so that you continue working in your current developer environment and experience and using the packages that you're used to. But get all of the advantages of the component model, which is this new specification we've been working on" at the W3C's WebAssembly Working Group. Goldenring added another finding from the CNCF survey: “Around 30% of people wanted better code reuse. That's a sign of a more mature ecosystem. So having something like Warg is going to help everyone who's involved in the server side of the WebAssembly space.” Listen to the full conversation to learn more about WebAssembly and how these two companies are tackling its challenges for developers.

AUSTIN, TEX. —What's the future of WebAssembly — Wasm, to its friends — the binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine that allows developers to build in their favorite programming language and run their code anywhere?For Matt Butcher, CEO and founder of Fermyon Technologies, the future of Wasm lies in running it outside of the browser and running it inside of everything, from proxy servers to video games.”And, he added, “the really exciting part is being able to run it in the cloud, as well as a cloud service alongside like virtual machines and containers.”For this On the Road episode of The New Stack Makers podcast, Butcher was interviewed by Heather Joslyn, features editor of TNS.With key programming languages like Ruby, Python and C# adding support for WebAssembly's new capabilities, Wasm is gaining critical mass, Butcher said.“What we're talking about now is the realization of the potential that's been around in WebAssembly for a long time. But as people get excited, and open source projects start to adopt it, then what we're seeing now is like the beginning of the tidal wave.”But before widespread adoption can happen, Butcher said, there's still work to be done in preparing the environment the next wave of Wasm: cloud computing.Along with other members of the Bytecode Alliance, such as Cosmonic, Fastly, Intel and Fermyon is working to improve the developer experience and environment this year. The next step, he added is to “start to build this first wave of applications that really highlight where it can happen for us.”The rise of Wasm represents a new era in cloud native technology, Butcher noted. “We love containers. Many of us have been involved in the Kubernetes ecosystem for years and years. I built Helm originally; that's still, in a way, my baby.“But also we're excited because now we're finding solutions to some problems that we didn't see get solved in the container ecosystem. And that's why we talk about it as sort of like the next wave.”Wasm and a ‘Frictionless' Dev ExperienceFermyon introduced its “frictionless” WebAssembly platform in June here at The Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit North America. The platform, built on technologies including HashiCorp's Nomad and Consul, enables the writing of microservices and web applications. Fermyon's open source tool, Spin, helps developers push apps from their local dev environments into their Fermyon platform.One aspect of Wasm's future that Butcher highlighted in our Makers discussion is how it can be scalable while also remaining lightweight in terms of the cloud resources it consumes.“Along with creating this great developer experience in a secure platform, we're also going to help people save money on their cloud costs, because cloud costs have just kind of ballooned out of control,” he said.“If we can be really mindful of the resources we use, and help the developer understand what it means to write code that can be nimble, and can be light on resource usage. The real objective is to make it so when they write code, it just happens to have those characteristics.”For those interested in taking WebAssembly for a spin, Fermyon has created an online game called Finicky Whiskers, intended to show how microservices can be reimagined with Wasm.

VALENCIA, Spain —  WebAssembly (Wasm) is among the more hot topics under the CNCF project umbrella.  In this episode of The New Stack Makers podcast, recorded on the show floor of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2022, Liam Randall, CEO and co-founder, Cosmonic, and Colin Murphy, senior software engineer, Adobe, discuss why Wasm's future looks bright. A quintessential feature of Wasm is that it functions on a CPU level, not unlike Java or Flash. This means, Randall said, that Wasm “can run anywhere.” “Everybody can start using Wasm, which functionally works like a tiny CPU. You can even put WebAssembly inside other applications.”The fact that Wasm has a binary format (with .wasm file format) and can be used to run on a CPU level like C or C++ does means it is highly portable. “WebAssembly really is exciting because it gives us two fundamental things that are truly amazing: One is portability across a diverse set of CPUs and architectures, and even portability into other places, like into a web browser,” said Randall. “It also gives us a security model that's portable, and works the same across all of those different landscape settings.”This portability makes wasm an excellent candidate for edge applications. Its inference capabilities for machine learning (ML) at the edge are particularly promising for applications distributed across many different applications, Murphy described. Wasm is also particularly apt for collaboration for ML edge and other applications. “Collaborative experiences are what WebAssembly is really perfectly in position for," he continued.In many ways, the name “WebAssembly” is not intuitively reflective of its meaning. “WebAssembly is neither web nor assembly — so, it's a somewhat awkwardly named technology, but a technology that is worth looking into,” Randall said. “There are incredible opportunities for your internal teams to transform the way they do business to save costs and be more secure by adopting this new standard.”
