Special guest Oliver Medhurst, a former Mozilla engineer, joins the conversation to talk about his project, Porffor, a unique compiler kit for JavaScript that allows ahead-of-time compilation to WebAssembly. The discussion covers the challenges and benefits of ahead-of-time compilation, performance aspects, and the importance of WebAssembly in diverse environments. Oliver also shares insights into building a JavaScript engine from scratch and the community's reaction to his project. Tune in for an in-depth look at the future of WebAssembly and its intersection with JavaScript.\nEngage with Porffor:\nGitHub: https://github.com/CanadaHonk/porffor\nDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/wPV3WgDGwg\nRead more about the recent development from Zig: https://kristoff.it/blog/zig-new-async-io/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qCeWjPm0sqG4qf4stTv1ZGHC17kntqCU5tYghoZHggw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hMzZj/YjhmOWUzYzBkOGU3/NWEwYzMwZWNhZWEz/YTc0Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
