New Blog Post: Extending Kafka the Hard Way (in which we inject #Wasm inside a Kafka broker using #Chicory, #extism and some elbow grease)

Here we go ... enhance-ssr-wasm running inside a PHP desktop app, directly binding to a webview (no http).

This doesn't require `sudo extism lib install`, or `composer require extism/extism` anymore.

The runtime is a static build of FrankenPHP, Wails, Wazero and Extism. Integration between PHP and Extism is done through a PHP-C-Go binding.

Next stop: Istanbul! πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡· Excited to be speaking at #PHPKonf about #PHP #WASM and #Extism. This talk is all about making 'what ifs' come true. What if we could write PHP extensions in JavaScript? What if a #Laravel app could be bundled as a cross-platform binary? What if PHP scripts could run truly async?

Slides from my talk "WebAssembly, Extend Anything with Everything, Everywhere! " at #confoo are online. https://gamma.app/docs/Extism-Make-all-software-programmable-Confoo-2025-qf29yghcr0praa0

Showed how to extend #frankenphp with an #extism / #wasi markdown middleware plugin, generating html at 3k req/s. Kudos to @dunglas, FrankenPHP rocks!

After a 2-year conference sabbatical, I'm back on the speaker circuit! First stop: #ConFoo in Montreal.

This year’s talks cover and include #WASM, #extism, #NativePHP, #FrankenPHP, #Golang, #PHP, #JS ... and a few surprises.

See you tomorrow!

I interview Steve Manuel of Extism fame on how to run #WebAssembly in your app.

WasmAssembly: Squishy Wasm apps using Extism with Dylibso's Steve Manuel - WasmAssembly

Join host Thomas Steiner and Steve Manuel from Dylibso as they dive deep into the world of "squishy" Wasm applications. Steve discusses Dylibso's mission to make all software squishy, using Wasm to unlock flexibility and extensibility in software development. The episode explores Dylibso's projects like Extism and Chicory, and how Extism is being used in production with Wasm today. Come for the Extism logo, and stay for Tom's provocative questions on Extism's role in the WebAssembly ecosystem.

Lemmy is experimenting with plugins.

Still in experimental prototyping stages it seems, but cool to see. Hope it gets worked on and works out well.

Could be an interesting experiment for the Fedi in general?

It’s using rust’s extism, so webaasembly for plugins.
