Hello and welcome! We're glad you've stumbled onto our little Wasm-loving corner of the internet. Wasm Builders is a space for anyone interested in WebAssembly to learn, show off what they've done, and discuss the technology with others.
WebAssembly (or Wasm) is an exciting technology for deploying highly secure, performant, and portable code. It was first showcased 5 years ago, and has received support from all major Web browsers since then, as well as making inroads into the cloud, IoT, and the edge. It’s an open standard driven by the World Wide Web Consortium, and whose development is being spearheaded by organizations like the ByteCode Alliance and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation from the Linux Foundation.
WebAssembly is approaching a critical turning point with important pieces coming together, especially with the advancement of the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI), which provides applications with access to the filesystem, networking, and other key interfaces. This will enable a whole new set of applications to emerge, and will reshape how applications get built and deployed.
Wasm Builders is a group made up of WebAssembly enthusiasts who are exploring the limits of wasm-native applications. Our goal is to inform, to delight, and to inspire. To inform by sharing knowledge about WebAssembly through articles and tutorials. To delight by showcasing cutting-edge demos and applications. And to inspire by bringing people from all over the world together to build the next generation of modern applications.
Connor Hicks, founder of Suborbital
As WebAssembly becomes a more prominent tool in the modern developer’s kit, it’s important that there’s a space to learn, discuss, and showcase everything that Wasm can do. This community space is going to ensure that anyone can approach WebAssembly from various industries, specialties and skill levels, and have a friendly, informative place to collaborate.
Nick Vidal, community manager of Enarx and Profian
Wasm Builders is shaping up to be a great place where developers come together to share what they are building on top of WebAssembly. The Enarx project in particular aims to render Confidential Computing accessible by providing a run-time Trusted Execution Environment based on WebAssembly, allowing developers to deploy applications transparently across multiple architectures and without any rewrites from languages like Rust, C, and C++.

At Fermyon, we believe WebAssembly has the potential to power the next wave of cloud computing, so we are very excited about a community effort to help developers build and understand WebAssembly. We are looking forward to sharing more about what we are working on soon!

Properties that made WebAssembly successful in the browser (safety, speed and efficiency) make it also a desirable component in other parts of the tech stack. It's great to have a platform like Wasm Builders that allows us all from different backgrounds to come together around this awesome technology.

Wasm Builders is a great place to start looking at, learning, and using Wasm and WASI components for almost anything. It’s a great way to ramp up if you want to contribute upstream to various projects – including those in the Bytecode Alliance Foundation and CNCF. This should be a lot of fun. :-)

Hello All,
I have 4 years of experience with Rust and started looking into WASM in the last 4 months. We want to leverage the WASM technology to Automotive and IoT use cases.
Mainly looking into wasm/native components. Composing them using WIT interfaces optimally for building the applications. Looking forward to learning more here.

Hello guys,
I like to learn how I can run wasm for data computation in our real-time data platform which is written in Java.
Hope to find a lot insights at here.
Hi everyone!
I'm a software engineer at Timart. I currently code in Node.js/React. I'm looking to learn rust and collaborate on OS projects ❤️.
And i'm definitely happy to be here!
Automation Lead in a very busy Cloud team at Red Hat (Ansible, Containers, and OpenShift). Ex C developer (boy did I leak memory), ex-Sun. Really excited about the potential of WASM, and learning Rust and Grain as a result. IMHO this is the most exciting technology to emerge since Containers. Will soon my blog my WASM journey here cloudassembler.com/
Hi all,
Excited to find and join this community today. Just started Wasm and Rust recently. So I want to learn a lot from here, and hope to share lots here.
Hello Everyone, I am a developer by occupation, currently working on mobile app development company. We offer innovative mobile app development services with high-performing, secure, and scalable app solutions to help you maximize ROI.
Hi I am new to wasm world. Came here because strategically I think it might be the future runtime of the internet.
Thank you, glad to be a part of the community.
Hi there!
I had a bug after confirming the email while creating my account. It was after the step of following some hashtags, more specifically, in the step of adding my bio. Maybe it was because my bio was too long, but no flag was dropped. To get around that bug, I went directly to the main page and edited my bio in my profile.
Anyway, excited to be here!
PS: I hear about this community in Fermyon Blog
Hi 5 2 all !
Thanks , This is very impressive
Hello hello!
At VMware we are exploring WASM and I’ll start working on it soon 😄.
Super excited to join the community!
