@superchris is back from Wasm I/O in Barcelona, Spain! It was a fantastic experience, and while it was a conference trip, there was still time to take in the sights. We hope attendees enjoyed "Supervising your WebAssembly Components with Wasmex" while they were there.

[Launch Scout @teamlaunchscout]

In this January 2025 edition of @cincinnatirb, @superchris takes an informal look at the intersection of @webassembly, #Ruby, and the ruby.wasm project, compiling ruby into #webassembly, and wasmtime-rb, which lets you call webassembly code in from ruby. https://t.co/cOvPMSPr2Y

Haven't been over here for a minute, but just stopped by to share my son's music video. I know I am biased and all, but it really is very good: https://t.co/E7aONfbxq9

I know we are not a swing state (Ohio) but that doesn't mean we don't get to vote to save democracy. Vote yes on issue 1 yall! For the love of God and all that is holy, take politicians out of redistricting

[Adam Kirk @atomkirk]

I've been working on big @elixirlang projects (two $1B+ companies), and not once have I ever felt pain around ecosystem.

AI is really good at writing it.

I've also been hiring a lot of devs recently and have found many excellent @elixirlang devs (or really good devs willing to learn it).

There is zero reason not to use @elixirlang. It's irresponsible not to.

[ElixirHealthcare @ElixirHcare]

Excited to speaking at the Denver Elixir meetup on Monday: https://t.co/vJhQHf2MlI

[htmx.org / Jim Cramer of Crypto (same thing) @htmx_org]

seeing a lot of posts heralding the death of junior devs

yeah, OK, so where to people think senior devs come from?

[Chris Nelson @superchris]

@jskalc Yeah, i might still occasionally use a "real debugger" if it was easily available I just got used to doing without. In any event FWIW it doesn't bother me anymore. YMMV

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

44 days.

That’s all the time we have left until Election Day.

@KamalaHarris has the vision, strength, and compassion to lead this country forward. Make your voice heard—make a plan to vote early, vote by mail, or head to the polls. https://t.co/bBcatjmEym

@wtsnz @bcardarella @pepicrft Hey I think it would be easy to build this, I just don't have any Swift/IOS chops. Is this something you'd wanna collaborate on? If so shoot me a DM and we'll find a time

[Chris Nelson @superchris]

@ellie_huxtable The water is quite lovely. And Rustler is pretty nifty (pun intended) if you need to bring over you favorite oxidized iron goodness

[Brian Cardarella @bcardarella]

If anybody is at a VC funded startup using @elixirlang I'd like to chat, DMs are open.

I feel like @HAXTheWeb just showed me the future I hoped we'd get to in like 10 years. :head_asplode:

[Chris Nelson @superchris]

Why haven't I heard of https://t.co/D6Y4ik0JL9 before?? Seems like amazing work so far.
