* '''Relive View Source 2018''' -- Mozilla’s [https://events.mozilla.org/viewsource2018 View Source] conference took place on Friday, October 26th in London as part of the larger sweep of events during MozFest week. We had a sold-out audience of 175 attendees and a great all-day agenda of nine exciting, informative speakers (plus some awesome short lightning talks). If you weren’t able to join us in person you can still have nearly the full View Source experience by watching recorded [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo3w8EB99pqLQj3cOk2UCjA8szdseqs7b videos] of each presentation on YouTube (with availability on AirMo coming soon).
* '''Rust update''' -- Rust 1.30.0 was released. This is the last stable release before Rust 2018 Edition. The two biggest changes are significant additions to the macro system, including custom attribute-like and function-like macros; and improvements to how the module system handles extern crates. As for most big changes as part of the Rust 2018 Edition, these changes help make the language more consistent, expressive, and approachable to new users.
* '''Web Standards Meetup''' -- TPAC, the W3C Combined Technical Plenary / Advisory Committee Meetings Week W3C annual meeting, which brings together W3C Technical Groups, the Advisory Board, the TAG and the Advisory Committee for an exciting week of coordinated and face-to-face work, took place the week of October 22-26 with broad representation from Mozilla and ET. Topics we helped lead in discussion included the ongoing relationship between MDN and the W3C, Interoperability testing for the Web of Things, continued development of CSS and Javascript, interop between JavaScript and WebAssembly, and the overall W3C Advisory Committee meeting.

* '''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.
