| schestowitz | <del>screenshot at right</del>. The big new feature, besides speculative AOT JIT which doesn't apply to us yet, is RLBox, which compiles certain third-party libraries into safe WebAssembly, and then compiles them back into C, so they can be compiled a third time into pre-sanitized native code. This has obvious security benefits and the performance impact shouldn't be especially large, but it adds yet another build-time | Dec 12 08:36 |
| schestowitz | prerequisite: the WASI SDK. This kind of really sucks because now you have to have a third toolchain (it builds one whether you like it or not) besides clang and our preferred compiler, gcc. Pending internal package support, some distros have chosen simply to disable this for the immediate future, even including Fedora.</p></blockquote></li> | Dec 12 08:36 |

| schestowitz | Nice write-up. Many thanks, Frau Corke. | Dec 12 17:36 |
| schestowitz | But let's factor in the background, that the three Parties of the Traffic Light Coalition need at this point to Big Up what they agree on and keep stumm about the myriad topics on which they disagree. In the ara of "innovation" for example, consider genetic engineering. The lifesaving Pfizer vaccine was invented in Germany but a horrible lot of Green Party members (especially here in Bavaria) want nothing at all to do with biotech and in consequence | Dec 12 17:36 |
| schestowitz | are active vaccine-deniers. Living in cosmopolitan Munich though, I'm optimistic, that the Ampel will be successful, and will heal rifts in society rather than aggravating them. Germans think it vitally important for the grown ups to set a good example to the children. Will the new Government set a good example. One really does hope so. | Dec 12 17:36 |
