1: 2017 is such an exciting time for the web, and I'm loving how much it's fitting in with the Glimmer work. - WASM is finally here, and Glimmer is teed up to use it directly pretty soon. - Firefox shipped Rust, which is also going to make front-end WASM awesome

3: (on top of the existing transferrables), and DOMChangeList is going to make it possible to batch up a whole bunch of DOM work in a worker and apply it all at once. Glimmer is going to have a polyfill for this that uses Rust-to-WASM pretty soon.

4/4: So much awesome! It's a great time to be building web infrastructure. The richness of the primitives we have available would have shocked the pants off of 2005 (or even 2010)

Would yall be falling back to an asm version when needed, or dropping support for non latest evergreen?
-
We'll be supporting IE11 for some time, and the plan is either: - drop back to asm (IE11 has typed arrays, so it works) - have a small equivalent JS runtime (not ideal, but maybe necessary depending on the perf of asm.js on IE11)

Does glimmer in this case mean “the rendering engine used in both ember and glimmer.js”, or just “glimmer the standalone thing”?
-
The former, but it will land in Glimmer.js first.

What fine grained parallelism primitives do browsers provide? I’m out of date here but is it still setTimeout, idle callbacks and the ilk?
-
SharedArrayBuffer yo :)

I’d love to understand more about how you folks are using shared array buffers and workers. This whole thread has my giddy

I'm so incredibly hyped for the future of Rust + WASM. It's amazing where we're at now with WASM and it's just getting better
