🎉Wasm3 v0.9.0 is out!🎉

It is the first major update in FIVE years.
That sounds like a software story. It isn't.

Four years ago, I wrote that my house had been destroyed by russians, and that I had to put #Wasm3 into minimal maintenance.

The war never went away.

@patrickgwsmith Will @wasm3_engine run it?

[Wasm3 @wasm3_engine]

Yes, #Wasm3 engine runs #WebAssembly on @MicrochipTech ATmega1284P with 128KB flash and 16 KB RAM 🤓

#Harvard #architecture #retrocomputing

[Wasm3 @wasm3_engine]

@GithubProjects Just run 2.5 million tests on every push...

That’s how you reduce deployment anxiety 🚀

Tail-call/TCO interpreter approach got more attention afterward.
@JoshHaberman 's “Parsing protobuf at 2+GB/s” was inspired by Wasm3, and that line of work helped developing new efficient interpreters.
Including the Python's new tail-call interpreter:

⚠️Recently, several #WebAssembly interpreters have appeared with "faster than Wasm3" claims.

Obviously - more compact, embeddable interpreters pushing performance forward is healthy for the whole software ecosystem.

That work also helped push embedded-Wasm discussions such as custom page sizes.

The standard 64 KiB Wasm page is reasonable on desktops and servers, but painful on small MCUs. Making that constraint visible to the broader spec community mattered.

Wasm3 was created in #Kyiv / #Ukraine.

Russia attacks my city with drones and ballistic missiles every day. Ordinary people are being killed while trying to keep living, building, and shipping.

Fuck russia.

We're _days_ from releasing Wasm3 engine v0.9.0

If you'd like a hint at what’s coming next...
#Wasm3 is now included on the #WebAssembly feature status page:
