Security Is Part of Every Critical User Journey How else would you make sure that product security decisions serve your customers? Propose that security outcomes and risks be defined at each step along critical user journeys. queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=… @pvachonnyc

Unleashing the Power of End-User Programmable AI The design of an AI-first, program-synthesis framework built around a new language, Universalis, designed for workers to read, the computer to execute, and ready to be analyzed and manipulated queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=… @headinthebox

Concurrency in #WebAssembly Experiments in the web and beyond How concurrent programs are compiled to #Wasm today given the limitations of multi-core concurrency support, and also discuss further expanding Wasm's concurrency capabilities queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=… @conrad_watt

When Is #WebAssembly Going to Get DOM Support? Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love glue code Can I build my C#/Go/Python library/app into my website so it runs with good performance? queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=…

The fundamental mismatch between traditional #distributed #computing paradigms and the unique demands of #AI workloads needs to change; @Deepseek_ai's MOE approach may show the way, says @AkshayMittal143 in "Rethinking Distributed Computing for the AI Era" bit.ly/40Xwpwr

WebAssembly: How Low Can a Bytecode Go?: New performance and capabilities With many languages and many targets, Wasm could one day become the universal execution format for compiled applications. queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=… @TitzerBL

WebAssembly: Yes, but for What? WebAssembly has found a niche but not yet filled its habitable space. We look at Wasm wins and losses, identify patterns, and extract commonalities. From those, we predict the future. queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=…
