Rikito Taniguchi: Bringing Scala to Server Side Wasm with WASI & Component Model [Scala Days 2025] WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction format originally designed for web browsers. In recent years, its security and speed have led to its adoption beyond the browser, such as in cloud edge computing. Scala.js 1.17.0 introduced support for compiling to Wasm with JavaScript embedding. Building

🤖 Running Scala on the server with WebAssembly is no longer just theory. This session explores WASI, the Component Model, and what’s possible today.

Wrong: Debugging core wasm can be done using Dwarf with chrome dev tools or VSCode; it really isn't hard anymore at all.
@anfibiacreativa.bsky.social and I did this two years ago using @vscode.dev and their wasm/dwarf extensions.

Promotional banner for a WebAssembly course. The headline reads "Invest in your career. One plan, one price.". The course is discounted from $99 to $79 for full access. Benefits include all lessons with a final exercise, lifetime access, and a one-time payment. A "Buy now" button is shown at the bottom.

Since I am getting a lot of PPP requests I decided to make my #WebAssembly course more affordable for a limited time.

Grab it while it's available.
