Look, ma, I'm in the #Emscripten release notes: https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/releases/tag/6.0.1. New experimental `-sCROSS_ORIGIN_STORAGE` linker flag integrating the proposed Cross-Origin Storage browser API
(https://github.com/WICG/cross-origin-storage) as a progressive enhancement for #Wasm loading on the Web target: https://emscripten.org/docs/compiling/CrossOriginStorage.html.
Release 6.0.1 · emscripten-core/emscripten

What's Changed The ability to redirect JS compiler stderr using EMCC_STDERR_FILE was removed. These days you can use EMCC_DEBUG and/or EMCC_DEBUG_SAVE to preserve all the intermediate JS compiler...

@rowan_m This was a fascinating read. I'm also impressed that you kept those early failure screenshots around, and in a way that five years later you can still find them. You might be interested in tracking the Wide Arithmetic #Wasm proposal: https://github.com/WebAssembly/wide-arithmetic/blob/main/proposals%2Fwide-arithmetic%2FOverview.md.

Finally blogged about the evolution of my own #Mandelbrot #fractal rendering app, Fractious in its current #Wasm + #WebGPU iteration. I should warn you, there's a suspiciously high number of mentions of #FORTRAN in this article.

Fractious (deep)

A deep dive (ho ho) into the Mandelbrot set rendered with Wasm and WebGPU.

Before you continue

Ah yes, because what the world desperately needs right now is the ability to make pristine #PDFs look like they just survived a nuclear apocalypse with the added bonus of doing it through the command line or #WASM. 🤖📄 Because nothing screams #innovation quite like taking a digital file and making it look like you scanned it with a potato. 🥔✨
