Good news for our trans friends:

The European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled that European Union nations must provide transgender citizens with identification documents reflecting their "lived gender" rather than their gender at birth.

To translate this for non-EU people, it's the equivalent of the US supreme court (the ECJ here) ruling that states (the EU Member States here) must respect people's gender choices.

What it looks like in practice:

TypeScript: provider.register("math.add", (a, b) => a + b)

Python: client.call("math.add", [10, 32]) returns 42

No HTTP server. No IDL file. No stub generator. Just function calls across languages.

Why Rust for the runtime?

- Portable (runs anywhere)
- Strongly typed
- Predictable under concurrency
- Safe to embed
- Fast enough to sit in the middle

Basically: "I want this to run everywhere and not explode"

After months of work, I just released the first public version of Saikuro, a cross-language invocation fabric that lets different languages call each other without RPC boilerplate.

TypeScript, Python, Rust, and C# adapters, all talking to a shared Rust runtime.

So, most of you probably don't know what HTMLPlayer is.
Basically, it's a web-based, open-source, and completely client-side music player with a bunch of features and useful tools.
I had created it last year in a single, messy index.html file, and have been working on remaking and improving it since then.
I am actually almost done with it, but it's still in public beta:
