Had a fun time at the South Bay Systems meetup last night. Thanks @yugabytedb.bsky.social for hosting!

@codedrift.social gave a great talk on WebAssembly: what it is (and isn't), how it connects to WASI, and promising projects. He cuts through a lot of the hype vs. reality. Recording coming soon.

The South Bay Systems talk series is back on Oct 2nd.

@codedrift.social will talk about the history and novel use cases of WebAssembly. Perfect timing too: Wasm 3.0 just released, and it is turning 10 this year.

Huge thanks to @yugabytedb.bsky.social for hosting!

We had our biggest @southbaysystems.xyz meetup yet last night! Thanks to everyone who came, and thanks to Databricks for hosting!
