All that work is happening in a single Github repo github.com/WebAssembly/spec/
Because that work started its incubation some time ago in #w3cCommunity Group, despite its early stage on the standardization track, it is already widely available in browsers caniuse.com/#feat=wasm
The last document, Web Assembly Web API, is a start of a series of further integration points into the Web Platform: w3.org/TR/2018/WD-wasm-web-a…
It provides at the moment e.g. a way to compile a #WebAssembly module from a streamed response.
For instance,
WebAssembly.instantiate(buffer, importObj);
will instantiate a Web Assembly module from the buffer, and pass it importObj where it can get data or functions from the calling JavaScript.
Web Assembly JavaScript Interface provides the API exposed in browsers to load, run and interact with Web Assembly modules w3.org/TR/2018/WD-wasm-js-ap…
3 specs are beginning their way on the formal standardization track today.
Web Assembly Core describes the low level code format w3.org/TR/2018/WD-wasm-core-… - unless you're a compiler/transpiler guru, this is probably not things you'll be dealing with on a daily basis.
#webassembly is a pretty big deal for the Web - it provides a compact, fast-to-parse, fast-to-run binary byte code for the Web, in the right conditions.
It complements #JavaScript for tasks that are CPU intensive, and facilitates porting of non-JS code bases (e.g. game engines)
If you are doing manual evaluation of Web accessibility, there should be plenty to learn and to bring to this on-line symposium on March 14 - register by March 8!
It is developed by the W3C Automotive Working Group w3.org/auto/wg/ as part of the general Automotive & Web effort in W3C to make Web technologies useful in the context of connected cars w3.org/auto/ 🚗🏎️🚘
The Vehicle Information Service Specification (VISS for those in the know) is a Web-socket based protocol to get data from in-vehicle sensors and interact with its actuators.
It has just reached Candidate Recommendation status #timetoimplementw3.org/TR/2018/CR-vehicle-in…
For instance, <button aui-action="undo" >Revert</button> would indicate that the said button is used to *undo* the last action, and could be rendered in a way personalized to the user - one goal is to make Web content more approachable to users with cognitive disabilities.
This is a 1st public draft of one of a set of module from @w3c_wai to enable Personalization Semantics in Web content. w3.org/TR/2018/WD-personaliz…
They provide vocabularies to describe well-known semantics of aspects of Web content. These vocabularies can be used to annotate markup.
The current known implementations and implementation plans are tracked at ishoudinireadyyet.com/
This is still early days, but it does feel like a pretty big game changer in opening up the browser black boxes!
