WasmGC is coming to GraalWasm, unlocking the power of JVM garbage collectors for #WebAssembly! This will also get GraalWasm a lot closer to implementing the full Wasm 3.0 spec. Join @ssmith.bsky.social and me at @jfokus.se next month to learn more: www.jfokus.se/talks.html?s...

I'm really looking forward to @jfokus.se which is coming up soon! It's always a great conference and you might still be able to find tickets so you can join @fniephaus.com and me as we sail our longship to the mysterious lands of #WebAssembly and @graalvm.org.

Probably the most impressive and exciting talk I have seen in years! Congrats to @fniephaus.com and Patrick Ziegler for their #wasmio presentation and work on @graalvm.org starting to compile Java applications to WasmGC. Kudos to @thomaswue.dev too.

This will definitely be a game changer--the ability to debug native executables in every Java IDE that supports JDWP, which is all of them!

Updated my Tiny Java Containers demo for @graalvm.bsky.social for JDK 23 and compared default (-O2) optimization vs. the new -Os (for size) option and got great results! Optimizing for size: 💥 ~43% smaller executables 💥 13%-46% smaller container images github.com/graalvm/graa... #docker #java
Chart comparing the size of container images built with executables generated by GraalVM for JDK 23 Native Image with and without the -Os (optimize for size) option.

It's been a while since I bought a new release CD. What was the last one you bought? As far as I can tell mine was Saint Etienne's Surrey EP that I picked up at their Toronto concert--six years ago!
