* '''The Future of and with Web Assembly''' -- Firefox was the first browser to ship WebAssembly support back in March 2017, and adoption has been fast and widespread. All that popularity and visibility doesn’t mean today’s WebAssembly is fully evolved, though. There’s a rich roadmap of coming features, which will unlock more powerful achievements on the web as well as for applications and tools broadly. You can get a glimpse of that grand future through Lin Clark’s latest Hacks [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/10/webassemblys-post-mvp-future/ blog post], which describes what’s to come for Web Assembly in the form of an ever more powerful skill tree, as if in a video game (and in unique [https://hacks.mozilla.org/category/code-cartoons/ Code Cartoons] style). There’s a lot to read and learn, but that’s because the potential for WebAssembly is enormous, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.
* '''Following The Arch''' -- We’ve talked about the WebAssembly Arch before, our interactive, bus-sized art installation containing 30,000 WebAssembly-powered LEDs that visitors can control through simple Rust programs. It made an appearance two weeks ago as a main-entrance [https://twitter.com/SandraPersing/status/1052280523119243264 centerpiece] at the GitHub Universe event in San Francisco, and was immensely popular with attendees. And we’ve heard there’s some chance the Arch might be putting in an appearance at our All Hands in Orlando, so keep your fingers crossed (and think about what you might do with 30,000 programmable LEDs).
* '''More Servo Magic''' -- Servo now loads and displays 2D web content on Magic Leap AR headsets, continuing our drive to build basic browser functionality for all headset types and to bring the rich range of existing web content into the world of mixed reality. This also provides a foundation to explore and prototype new web standards and new browser UX, UI, and security concerns targeting mixed reality environments. Any enthusiasts with access to a Magic Leap SDK and the Servo [https://github.com/servo/servo source code] can give it a try.
