Now on Fridays! In this week's comic, Aljoscha and Sammy are called out. Encoding and decoding lands in Ufotofu. We go back to 1998 to further explore why the site is called worm-blossom. There are opinions about fancy CRDTs. Aljoscha talks encoding and fuzz testing.

A screenshot of the Ufotofu page. There is a symmetrical header, symmetrical code samples, and UFOs in the corners of the background.

Ufotofu is a Rust crate for working with streams and sinks which we developed for our Willow Rust work, based on “Strict Principles for Lazy Sequences” (aljoscha-meyer.de/assets/landi...). Also when the webpage scrolls it looks like a UFO is beaming stuff up.

A screenshot of the worm-blossom update for week 55 of 2025. The header is symmetrical! The music is symmetrical! There is a comic, an announcement, and app mockups drawn on grid paper.

This week we release ufotofu, a perfectly symmetrical Rust library for streams and sinks. There's a cross-section of where most of the time in a worm-blossom project goes. Aljoscha looks back on years of p2p projects rolling their own streaming abstractions.

A screenshot showing a portion of worm-blossom.org’s entry for Week 44 of 2025. An article titled “what’s with the name?!” is partially shown. It reads: “why is this website called ‘worm-blossom’? In this series we will explain why in a concise manner. PART 1: THE FRENCH REVOLUTION” A sketch of a man shrugging in ignorance is displayed next to it.

This week we begin our multi-part series on why worm-blossom is called that. There's also a new willow25 crate release with groupings. Aljoscha has a new order theory crate. And Sammy has been away and drew a bit of Wales.

An illustration bearing a Willow emblem in the centre, and many dotted lines fanning out from it to different characters using their devices, talking to each other, fixing things.

willowprotocol.org, the home for our set of p2p storage protocols, has been updated! There’s a new Rust section. Confidential Sync prevents man-in-the-middle attacks. The Drop format encodes Willow data efficiently into a single binary. Dozens of new illustrations. And much more!

A panel of a comic. Anubis, Egyptian God of the Afterlife, looks down upon a man and asks: “Imhotep! Do you bring anything with you into the afterlife?”

A screenshot of a cropped portion of the Week 42 of 2025 update of worm-blossom.org. There are four columns, with a comic, music, editorials, an announcement, and a food journal.

This week on worm-blossom.org: the reviews are in, and people like the website! Aljoscha works on non-Willow projects like ufotufo and Macromania. Sammy draws a comic on indirect problem solving. We announce 'Frugal Async Rust', which is nothing less than a way of life.

A screenshot of worm-blossom.org’s week 42 entry. It has a header with a squiggly flower + worm motif, a comic, and editorials with illustrations of the authors. There is a photo too. This is all in a multi-column layout and it looks pretty rambunctious.

welcome to ‪https://worm-blossom.org‬! It’s a shared development diary, one with comics and music and an update each week.

In week 42, we try to regain our senses in the rabbithole, rename (and redraw) some specs, release Bab 0.1.0, and share some lovely music to mine to.
