WasmGC is coming to GraalWasm, unlocking the power of JVM garbage collectors for #WebAssembly! This will also get GraalWasm a lot closer to implementing the full Wasm 3.0 spec.

I'm really looking forward to @jfokus.se which is coming up soon! It's always a great conference and you might still be able to find tickets so you can join @fniephaus.com and me as we sail our longship to the mysterious lands of #WebAssembly and @graalvm.org.

For my keynote with @sannegrinovero.bsky.social from at www.redhat.com/en/events/de..., I am experimenting with @graalvm.org native image, @kotlinlang.org, and @quarkus.io and it works great! Instant startup, low memory footprint, and high throughput. Check it out here: github.com/thomaswue/na...

Implementation strategy for the Exception Handling proposal Β· Issue #3427 Β· bytecodealliance/wasmtime I've been interested in having the Exception Handling proposal supported in Wasmtime, so I looked into possible ways to implement it. There's been some prior discussion in issues #2049 and #1677, b...

Exception handling support has just been merged in Wasmtime. Great news for @kotlinlang.org and @graalvm.org compiling to #Wasm for server-side (and fullstack) use cases! github.com/bytecodealli...

This will definitely be a game changer--the ability to debug native executables in every Java IDE that supports JDWP, which is all of them!
