WebAssembly

Rust 1.96.0, released May 28, resolves a decade-old ergonomics gap with Copy-implementing range types from RFC 3550, stabilizes assert_matches!, tightens WebAssembly linking, and patches medium and low Cargo vulnerabilities affecting third-party registry users.

The Bytecode Alliance patches 12 Wasmtime flaws, two critical, found during a three-week LLM-assisted security sprint by Mozilla, UCSD, Akamai, and F5.

The open-source runtime executes Node.js v24 applications inside a WASIX sandbox without Docker, passing 99 percent of the Node.js test suite while trading 5 to 30 percent of native performance for process-level isolation.

LLVM 22.1, released February 24, introduces production-ready Distributed ThinLTO, C2y Named Loops in Clang, LLDB WebAssembly debugging, and support for Intel Nova Lake and Arm C1 processors.

WebAssembly's server-side moment arrives as WASI 0.3 finalizes native async support and Akamai deploys Fermyon's Spin across 4,000 edge locations.
