Toots mostly about WebAssembly, WASI, Wasmtime, Rust, Capability-based security. Fastly. Ex-Mozilla.
Looking forward to regular open office hours today, but there's a time change: due to daylight savings time here, the time in UTC has shifted an hour later.
cap-std is now at 1.0!
The main change in this release is the update to io-lifetimes 1.0, which marks the update to use the I/O safety features in the standard library when available.
