Yet another compiler compiler.
WebAssembly, LLVM, Native Client, Chromium.

WasmGC has advanced to phase 4. Let’s get those ship bits flipped!

I recently wrote up a guide to creating a new WebAssembly proposal. If you’ve ever had an idea for a new WebAssembly feature and didn’t know how to get started, come check it out! https://t.co/5UMC1yBxUo

[Thomas Lively @tlively52]

I'm happy to announce that the WebAssembly GC proposal has moved to phase 2 as of this morning. This is the result of the hard work and patience of many folks in the WebAssembly community group, especially over the last year, and I'm excited to keep up the strong momentum. 1/

@binjimint @figmadesign Congrats! they are lucky to get you.

@fitzgen Best of luck on what's next! Glad to hear you'll still work on Rust+Wasm, I look forward to it.

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@jfbastien @kripken @jayphelps @bsletten @binjimint @n_c_bray @antumbral Like most good ideas, it's obvious in retrospect.

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@Sunfishcode :( I'm sorry to hear this as well.

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@lccbastien We've been there, my friend it's rough.😞 Feel better soon!

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@llvmorg I'm sure this wasn't easy. Thanks for all your hard work, we really appreciate it.

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@RReverser These are 2 causes I can get behind 👍

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@WasmWeekly Thanks for the great year of tweets and articles!

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@RReverser @pati_gallardo Yeah I assume the name was chosen because it's C language, but I've never heard any other LLVM developer pronounce it other than "clang." I guess if you say it often, you want to save your syllables 😁

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@jfbastien @the8bitdeity yes, absolutely this.

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@binjimint @bobbydigitales @mattgodbolt @tlively52 @dptig Even with LLVM trunk you need a flag, (-msimd128 IIRC), else the vectors get scalarized at codegen. Not sure what version @CompileExplore has but the flag's been there a while. (The spec and the impl are still evolving, so if you want to test against @v8js, use trunk of both)

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@EasyRPG @jade_hpy That's a really remarkable speedup, more than I would have expected. Do you have any insight into what's different?

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

@theinedibleholk Drop the 'in C++, it's cleaner.

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

Useful for yielding to the browser’s event loop or calling async web APIs when using emscripten, or for implementing coroutine-like functionality in your own language when compiling to wasm.

[Derek Schuff @DerekSchuff]

Useful for generating wasm output that's linkable with LLVM-compiled C/C++!
