The World of WASI by Dan Gohman @ Wasm I/O 2023

Wasm I/O 2023 / 23-24 March, Barcelona
Slides: 2023.wasmio.tech/docs/session...
WASI Preview2 is the name for the next major iteration of the WASI Command APIs in development, including WASI filesystem, and now also including WASI sockets. Based on the new Wit IDL, they offer much better bindings for non-C-like languages, much better virtualizability, and establish some important infrastructure for future WASI evolution. And, they have much more complete documentation, including some demos that you can run yourself to see how everything works. I’ll talk about the new features and design changes and show off some demos!
WASI HTTP and WASI Cloud are two families of WASI proposals in development that show how WASI is about more than just POSIX APIs. I’ll talk about these new APIs, and I’ll discuss Worlds, and the infrastructure we’re building to all users and embedders to use just the APIs they need for their use cases.
And finally, I’ll discuss the future of WASI. The Component Model gives us powerful new tools for composability, virtualizability, typed interfaces, and more. What will it look like as we built out more of the System Interface with these tools? I’ll give a brief tour of the future as it looks like with these tools in hand!

This was a great talk but honestly thought I was on 2x speed.

[@JitenPalaparthi]

How many of you checked your playback speed ?

[@maximus1172]

I though I was playing at 1.25x or even 1.5x haha

You guys are Gen Z idiots, blue against black is easily one of the best schemes for your eyes for easy of reading. Be more evidence-based guys.

Kindly speak a bit slow next time because the content is amazing and it has to be presented in a way that’s committed to making people really understand.

If you click Settings in your KZbin video window, you can adjust to a custom video speed, which then slows down or speeds up speech. I use it all the time, it's a huge life-saver for me.

Difficuot accent

You can also put captions on. Always roll with CC ^_^ Hits those visual and auditory learning modes at once (:
