ai chatbots. I am mainly saying that chatbots stole most of the technologist attention AND I still wonder whether wasm was as exceptional as I have understood.

The latter question boils down to: why not prove a subset of scheme, or another language to be safe instead of inventing yet another… « knowledge tarpit »

hmmm isn't the goal of wasm to be performant?

Also I don't see how you put AI chatbots in the mix, how is that?

before chatbots, a little while after 2021 wasm had a lot of coverage on hn, and lobsters with almost monthly interesting news, and hacks. There was a backend wasm scene.

Nowadays there is not enough energy to keep thinking and to keep track of both technology. At least I do not have enough bandwidth to stay in the loops of both.

Tho, that might be news 🗞️ coverage bias. In the sens, people keep poking at wasm but it does not surface on mainstream news platforms.

Everything is AI right now in the mainstream but if you filter it, there are still other things happening.

I'd say the people that are attracted to the new shiny thing are the people we shouldn't be listening to. Under the surface everything continues to be the same.
