Practical WebAssembly Candle Team

In this episode, we discuss the current wave of AI hype before sharing community news with Spin 1.0, Wazero 1.0, Kotlin/Wasm, and Wick's new features.

Our guest for this episode is Nick Wesselman from Shopify, who shares how Shopify uses WebAssembly, why they prioritized it, and the pros and cons they encountered along the way. Nick also demonstrates the capabilities of Shopify functions and shares what's next for this technology.

We wrap up the episode with a discussion on Wasm4, an exciting new platform for gaming and creative coding. Tune in to learn more!
