🤔 hmm, now what does this remind me of:

"By standardizing APIs for #WebAssembly, #WASI provides a way to compose software written in different languages—without costly and clunky interface systems like HTTP-based microservices." (wasi.dev)

Oh yeah, here it is:

"The Infinite Improbability Drive was a wonderful new method of crossing interstellar distances in a mere nothingth of a second, without tedious mucking about in hyperspace"...

and:

..."The Bistromathic Drive is a wonderful new method of crossing vast interstellar distances without all the dangerous mucking about with Improbability Factors."

(and you thought I was gonna mention #Java and Jini!)

(h/t to Douglas Adams for his enduring insight into human behavior, and the #wasm / #wasi folks for doing god's work!)

wasi.devIntroduction · WASI.devThe WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) is a group of standards-track API specifications for software compiled to the W3C WebAssembly (Wasm) standard. WASI is designed to provide a secure standard interface for applications that can be compiled to Wasm from any language, and that may run anywhere—from browsers to clouds to embedded devices.
Manning PublicationsServer-Side WebAssembly“WebAssembly on the server is the future of computing.” –Solomon Hykes, founder of Docker</b> Server-Side WebAssembly</i> shows you how to harness the power of Wasm on the application back-end. By following the numerous practical examples and crystal-clear explanations, you’ll soon be seeing the benefits of reduced cold start times, improved security and performance, and the freedom of polyglot programming. Inside Server-Side WebAssembly</i> you’ll learn how to: Develop and deploy server-side Wasm applications</li> Create and manage Wasm containers with OCI</li> Compile Wasm components from multiple languages</li> Scale Wasm applications using Kubernetes</li> Implement Wasm for edge computing scenarios</li> Integrate with cloud resources and machine learning</li> </ul> WebAssembly empowers developers to run almost any language on the web—including high performance tools like C or C++. Server-Side WebAssembly</i> lays out everything you need to take WebAssembly beyond its traditional browser domain. You’ll learn from WebAssembly expert and contributor Danilo Chiarlone</b>, who has packed the book with production-level examples based on his experience working with WebAssembly at Microsoft.

wasi-sdk 25.0 is now released!

Highlights include:
- LLVM 19
- Include llvm-dwp utility
- Experimental setjmp/longjmp support (this depends on the Wasm exception-handling proposal, which many non-browser Wasm engines don't support yet, but it's a step)

[wasi-messaging] was just voted to advance to [phase 2]!

It's useful in practice on its own, but I'm also interested in how this is a milestone for the broader [wasi-cloud-core]'s `service` world, which has the potential to become an important new world, along side the POSIX-oriented `command` world and the HTTP-oriented `proxy` world.
