Agree about Graal being really good. there are some different use cases for embedding wasm in an application. chicory / endive is not just for embedding another language. the main …

the "redline" compiler is cranelift which is written in rust, but i think it's being compiled to Wasm first then JVM bytecode so it still works zero dependency. not sure if that wi…

if i understand correctly, the new redline compiler doesn't have these limitations. it's not based on asm. (edit: but this hasn't been merged to mainline yet)

yeah that is roughly the concern, many runtimes didn't want to continue on past wasip1, mostly because of the component model.

Just wanted to chime in to say this is really cool. I dreamed of building something like this for the Extism ecosystem but it was a huge lift to unlock all the pieces. This looks l…

Glad to hear you’re enjoying it! Would love to meet up some time if you ever get the chance.

welcome! if you're looking for some people to connect to or get help from check out the local dev community site: http://noladevs.org/

yes, the local security community punches above their weight i think.

Hack night is the generic networking meetup at the rusty nail. It's way more casual. No presentations or organizing. below-c-level and frontend party are generally more organized a…

Speaking of community, there is a really nice little tech community going strong in New Orleans that I think reflects the culture talked about here. If you are ever in town you sho…

This is the first i've heard of people using the SSE transport locally. What purpose what that serve? Is this by design because the chrome extension could not talk to it otherwise?…

I'm not sure where they congregate, but I've encountered some minecraft people using chicory probably for this purpose. IDK how minecrafts plugins currently work but i'd imagine ch…

Glad you appreciate it! On top of being a Java joke it’s an homage to my home, New Orleans. We still drink coffee with chicory here due to some events during the civil war and then…

wait, was the question running scala in wasm or running chicory in scala?

Yes i think so. it's just a jar

This is distributed as just a jar, should you can invoke it from Clojure, if that is what you mean.

Some more interesting use cases in production: Running python UDFs in Trino: https://trino.io/docs/current/udf/python.html Running the Ruby parser in Jruby: https://blog.enebo.com/…

Even in interpreter mode, rust wasm programs seem very fast for me on Chicory. I'm not sure if we have any specific benchmarks but the graal team did some and i think it's based on…

WASI does open up some holes you should be considerate of. But it's still much safer than other implementations. We don't allow you direct access to the FS we use jimfs: https://gi…

There are a few! But also there is lots of Java software out there and Wasm is a great way to extend it and bring new functionality.

It's very amusing to me as well. The first thing i did was run and SNES emulator and definitely made me chuckle https://x.com/bhelx/status/1809235314839281900

Also note, we have the AOT compiler which can target the JVM bytecode directly as well as Dalvik/Android which is experimental but nearly spec complete :)

There are a few, and they are really interesting! The reason we wrote Chicory though is we're interested in extending the capabilities of existing Java applications through plugins…
