@ekaitz_zarraga not sure what you mean :)

@ekaitz_zarraga @civodul unlikely that wasm will ever replace js vm on the web. though, some platforms (e.g. fastly edge) do compile js to wasm

@ekaitz_zarraga yeah!!!

there are almost 500 people in the main guix irc room; wild

@ekaitz_zarraga Y fueron felices y comieron perdices, and follow me on social media.

i feel like the last chapter of a book should always be titled "conclusion". otherwise how would we know we are at the end

and now for something entirely different: the first in a series of articles on cross-platform mobile application development. it's a funny space and i had fun spelunking into it https://wingolog.org/archives/2023/04/20/structure-and-interpretation-of-capacitor-programs

@ekaitz_zarraga lol don't know ;) my guess was that it is implemented using java classes with singleton instances that need initialization, and somehow it adds up

@ekaitz_zarraga why what? :) why is it funny?

funniest thing i have read this morning, from https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/reduce-apk-size#remove-enums

my goodness, the is some serious engineering -- on using CPS and deep LLVM-fu to automatically generate an interpreter that is faster than LuaJIT's hand-coded interpreter https://sillycross.github.io/2022/11/22/2022-11-22/

well! a work update -- been doing a scheme-to-webassembly compiler for @spritelyinst. previously we had gotten to the point of designing an ABI and calling convention, then testing by manually compiling to WebAssembly(+gc+stringref+tail-calls). three new developments:
one, a wasm toolchain completely written in scheme (https://gitlab.com/spritely/guile-hoot-updates/-/tree/main/module/wasm);
two, a back-end for Guile's compiler that lowers to wasm; &
three, a JavaScript bridge to allow Scheme/JS interop for wasm in JS environments.

gc peoples. let's imagine you have a semispace old-space. should you give the fromspace back to the os after collection? for big heap multipliers this could be a significant win

a cool thing! through an lovely @igalia / @spritelyinst collaboration, i get to compile #guile to #WebAssembly !
