i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

WebAssembly is a second-class language on the web, but how can we make it first-class? WebAssembly Components could be the answer…

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println!(), panic!(), format!(), write!(), log::info!(), and so on. (That is, everything based on format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

'Hello world' compiles 3% faster and a few bigger projects like Ripgrep and Cargo compile 1.5% to 2% faster. And those binaries are roughly 2% smaller. 🎊

This change will be available in Rust Nightly tomorrow, and should ship as part of Rust 1.93.0 in January.
