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

"Clang, Clang: Who's there? WebAssembly!" Upcoming C++ (Clang) extensions for WebAssembly A talk by Igalia's @pocmatos at the 2022 LLVM Dev Mtg youtube.com/watch?v=lwPg_V…

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! github.com/WebAssembly/me…

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.

The WebAssembly Summit 2021 schedule is now public! 🎉 We have a great line up and can’t wait for the summit to happen on April 22nd! 📆 👇 webassembly-summit.org/schedule

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

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

@kripken @jayphelps @bsletten @binjimint @n_c_bray @DerekSchuff @antumbral I asked Nick and he says he doesn't remember, but probably not him 🤷‍♂️ WE SHALL NEVER KNOW

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

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

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

We are sad to announce that EuroLLVM 2020 has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Please read our full announcement here: lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm…

@RReverser These are 2 causes I can get behind 👍

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

@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 😁

@jfbastien @the8bitdeity yes, absolutely this.

@the8bitdeity Stid?!?! TIL!

🗣 I say C++ "std::string" as...

@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)

@mattgodbolt Hello! I tried to use clang vector intrinsics to generate SIMD instructions in clang's wasm output but it didn't seem to work. Is that expected to work in the version compiler explorer is running? Also thanks for Compiler Explorer, it's awesome!

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

We plan to switch our #EasyRPG Web #Player from asm.js to WASM which is a more modern technology. Shown is the resource heavy game Frozen Triggers by @jade_hpy. The changes are significant, from 3 FPS to 60 FPS. Play in your browser: easyrpg.org/play/pr1895/?g… ⬅️ asm.js | ➡️ WASM

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

It's a wonder anyone can write correct programs in C++.

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.

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