I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
At the time, I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 55 now.
HIV treatment works and it means I can’t pass it on - we call this #UequalsU.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.

this is the most succinct response I've ever seen to the comment "but Android is Linux!!"

So uhh...

Today's is the first known to me runtime in complete for a tiny subset of .

I'm going to keep going deep before refactoring and supporting the entire bredth of the standard.

When people tell you that is a simple VM they don't lie. The problem is that it's still a pretty big VM with a lot of features. Implementing it is approximately as easy or as hard as implementing a C99 compiler.

I mean, it's sort of easier, but maybe twice as easy. Not by an order of magnitude.

That's why I strongly suggest the following path for implementers:

1. Read the whole spec and try to understand it. Read some blog posts, play with wasmer like it's shown in some example repositories[1].
2. Implement a parser into Exprs. Ignore .
3. Implement a thing that instantiates and runs Exprs.

After you experimented with your runtime enough, you'll be able to easily extend it with binary capabilities. I made a mistake of supporting emitting binary format before writing the runtime and while it was a nice, fun and necessary experience that allowed me to learn way more about wasm binary encoding, it didn't inform the architecture for the runtime and by the time I started runtime, deadlines were tighter than I'd like them to be, so my architecture is garbage.

But runtime architecture is the most important architectural decision you'll be making while implementing runtime, so don't repeat my mistakes and work on it first.

After you're happy with all the important bits, write binary serealisation / desearialisation with an assistance of hexdumps of the files you made in (1).

@alesgenova I can already see that the car is very fragile. You don't want to kock it even slightly against anything. I'm trying to drive btw.

It's this time of the year where many people are looking to learn new things and broaden their horizons.

If you are interested in #Haskell, last year I wrote a free book for beginners. It uses a project-oriented approach where you learn Haskell by building a static blog generator.

If this sounds interesting, consider checking it out :)

When shown the huge list of operating systems curl runs on, people often ask me which is the strangest, or hardest, operating system to keep curl support for. The answer is always, and will probably always remain: Windows.

No other operating system has so many custom, special, weird and quirky ways that require special-case solutions in the code.

create things that don’t require you to be there to explain them.

If you are a , check this free out (this one is a , not a zine, but same in spirit).
Even though the authors are basing their works on it's generic and can be used with any and even help with writing .
