Is it almost the end of February already??

Yes, yes it is. Which means we just sent out our #Wasm tidbits.

Ahoy!

Hope your February has been swell. Here in southern Germany, it's been a relatively snowy winter…but it's finally starting to feel like spring.

First and foremost, we wanted to let you know that we published a new blog post last week, A WebAssembly interpreter (Part 2). In Part 1, we created a simple Wasm interpreter from scratch, but it was only able to evaluate expressions consisting of literals. In the latest post, we add support for local and global variables. Give it a look!

And here are your Wasm tidbits for February:
• "WebCC is a lightweight, zero-dependency C++ toolchain and framework for building WebAssembly applications. It provides a direct, high-performance bridge between C++ and HTML5 APIs." And then there's Coi, "a modern, component-based language for building reactive web apps", which is built on WebCC.
• Marimo is an open-source reactive Python notebook; like Jupyter, but better in many ways (no hidden state, stored as pure Python files, …). And it also supports WebAssembly notebooks, powered by Pyodide; in other words, Wasm notebooks execute entirely in the browser, without a backend executing Python.
• Along the same lines: Pandoc for the People is a fully-featured GUI interface for Pandoc (probably the most-used Haskell program ever). It lets you run any kind of conversion that pandoc supports, without the documents ever leaving your computer. It's based on the recent Pandoc 3.9 release, which supports Wasm via the GHC wasm backend.
