Floating on Air and in Orbit

It's been a minute but we're back with another virtual Meetup! It will be livestreamed on YouTube @ https://youtu.be/AR8v5efuZEw. We'll also be hanging out on the community WebAssembly Discord chat. Join ahead of time via this link: https://discord.gg/v5F6QNsF.

Agenda (SF TZ, GMT-7):

5:00pm: Building cloud-native applications with WebAssembly, Connor Hicks
5:45: Networking
6:00: How to build a language for distributed systems on Rust and Wasm, Mikhail Voronov
6:45: Networking

About the talks:

Building cloud-native applications with WebAssembly

We’ll take a look at the Atmo project which provides APIs, tooling, and a server-side runtime that makes building applications with WebAssembly easy. You’ll get a live walk through of building an application, and learn more about why Wasm makes sense in the cloud.

How to build a language for distributed systems on Rust and Wasm

At Fluence we are developing an open stack solution that allows developers to choreograph and compose distributed, peer-to-peer hosted services. An integral pillar of this stack is Aquamarine, github.com/fluencelabs/air, a composability medium developed in Rust. Aquamarine is comprised of a language and intermediary representation (AIR) inspired by typed pi-calculus. The Rust-based AIR interpreter compiles to WebAssembly and allows for the seamless orchestration of peer-to-peer hosted, Wasm-based services.

In this talk, we demonstrate and discuss the use of AIR and how AIR scripts can be represented as directed acyclic graphs. Moreover, we present the project evolution from its beginning in the context of Rust and Wasm.
