Bringing WebAssembly to the .NET Mainstream - Steve Sanderson, Microsoft
Many developers still consider WebAssembly to be a leading-edge, niche technology tied to low-level systems programming languages. However, C# and .NET (open-source, cross-platform technologies used by nearly one-third of all professional developers [1]) have run on WebAssembly since 2017. Blazor WebAssembly brought .NET into the browser on open standards, and is now one of the fastest-growing parts of .NET across enterprises, startups, and hobbyists. Next, with WASI we could let you run .NET in even more places, introducing cloud-native tools and techniques to a wider segment of the global developer community. This is a technical talk showing how we bring .NET to WebAssembly. Steve will demonstrate how it runs both interpreted and AOT-compiled, how an IDE debugger can attach, performance tradeoffs, and how a move from Emscripten to WASI SDK lets it run in Wasmtime/Wasmer or higher-level runtimes like wasmCloud. Secondly, you'll hear lessons learned from Blazor as an open-source project - challenges and misconceptions faced bringing WebAssembly beyond early adopters. [1] StackOverflow survey 2021
What's On Tap for .NET 8 (Preview 1 Coming this Month)
#efcore is now fully annotated for C# reference nullability. Help us find any incorrect annotations by trying out the previews! (the full annotations will be in preview3, though preview2 is already partially annotated).
- Smart support for C# 8.0 language features such as indices, ranges, and unmanaged generic structs, as well as many new quick-fixes, inspections, and context actions.
This marks the first time that the Linux kernel will be included as a component in Windows.
The kernel provided for WSL2 will be fully open source!
What's new in .NET 8 for Web frontends backends and futures?
.NET 8 RC1 is now available. This is our first of two release candidates. This release includes a new AOT mode for both Android and WASM, System.Text.Json improvements, and Azure Managed Identity support for containers. Now is great time to pick up and test .NET 8 if you haven’t yet.
