Truly, open-ended. - **Contact (initially):** ralph <ralph.squillace@microsoft.com> ::: :::info - **PUBLISHED:** yo wasm - The Easy Way to WebAssembly - **What is it:** Guide to a Wasm project generator, using the popular Yeoman code generator. "Although languages such as Rust and C/C++ can compile to WASM, it’s not always obvious how to set up projects in this way - there is extra ceremony compared to most languages’ “native” target. Setting up debugging and deployment also involves extra steps too, and those aren’t always obvious. So there’s a barrier to entry in the first place, and unwelcome configuration every time you create a new project."" - **Date:** December 3, 2020 - **Author:** Ivan Towlson (Microsoft) - **Contact:** ralph squillace <ralph.squillace@microsoft.com> - **Post Host:** https://deislabs.io/posts/introducing-yo-wasm/ - **Reference:** https://github.com/deislabs/generator-wasm/ ::: :::info - **Title:** Still Rusting - One Year Later - **What is it:** It has been about a year since the DeisLabs team starting using Rust in a "serious" project. About this time last year, we started work on what became the [Krustlet](https://github.com/deislabs/krustlet) project. Since then, we have been using Rust extensively across our projects and have learned a ton more about the language's strengths and weaknesses. As "Rust After the Honeymoon" posts currently seem to be all the rage, we thought we could contribute a little to the discussion with our experiences writing applications for the cloud world. - **Date:** December 3, 2020 - **Author:** Ivan Towlson (Microsoft) - **Contact:** ralph squillace <ralph.squillace@microsoft.com> - **Post Host:** https://desilabs.io/posts/still-rusting-one-year-later/ - **Reference:** - https://deislabs.io/posts/kubernetes-a-rusty-friendship/ - https://deislabs.io/posts/a-fistful-of-states/ ::: :::info - **Title:** Introducing Bindle - **What is it:** Bindle is an aggregate object storage system, optimized for dependency graphs in particular with respect to something like [WebAssembly nano-processes](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/11/announcing-the-bytecode-alliance/) - **Date:** December 14, 2020 - **Author:** Matt Butcher (Microsoft) - **Contact:** ralph squillace <ralph.squillace@microsoft.com> - **Post Host:** https://desilabs.io/posts/introducing-bindle/ - **Reference:** - https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/11/announcing-the-bytecode-alliance/ :::
