Lemmy is experimenting with plugins.

Still in experimental prototyping stages it seems, but cool to see. Hope it gets worked on and works out well.

Could be an interesting experiment for the Fedi in general?

It’s using rust’s extism, so webaasembly for plugins.

I'm excited to announce that I'll be kicking off #wasmio24 this March in BCN with "Understanding Wasm"!

https://2024.wasmio.tech/sessions/understanding-wasm-how-we-got-here/

Very nearly all of Dylibso will be there, so if you've ever thought "I'd love to pick their brain" or "what is this #extism thing" – come say hi!

I wrote a bit about how Extism works (& how that strategy performs!): https://dylibso.com/blog/how-does-extism-work/

(tl;dr: wasmtime is fast, our kernel uses wasm time’s linker, & as a result, we can transfer about 1.5GiB/s across the host/guest boundary — at about 4.7ns per 8 byte-function call on my M2 mac.)

I'm excited to share that Dylibso just released v1.0 of the Wasm framework we've been working on, Extism!

https://dylibso.com/blog/announcing-extism-v1/

For folks who are unfamiliar, Extism smooths the sharp edges of working with Wasm modules by making it easy to transfer data –in your encoding of choice– from our host SDKs to Wasm modules using our plugin dev kits across a ton of languages.

It continues to be a privilege to work with this team and I'm excited for the future of this project!

Rob, my teammate at Dylibso, wrote about what makes Wasm integration difficult today & how Extism makes it easier.

(It also nods to the component model – which we're looking at how best to support!)

This sounds cool, although I'm pretty sure someone tried it before.

Let's see where this goes!!

「 Extism's goal is simple: make all software programmable. We've released the project under the permissive BSD-3 license, and you can see all of its components on GitHub 」
