Ryan Hunt's Blog

This is the first post in a series called “Wasm Dark Corners”.

Well, that went by quick!

I wrote a post on the SpiderMonkey blog about retiring asm.js now that WebAssembly has taken its place.

I wrote a piece for Mozilla Hacks on why WebAssembly is a second-class citizen on the Web.

I sat down with Thomas Steiner on the WasmAssembly podcast to talk about the JS String builtins proposal and how I ended up on the SpiderMonkey team.

I joined a panel at WasmCon 2023 alongside Conrad Watt, Adam Klein, David Degazio, and Bailey Hayes to talk about the state of WebAssembly in browsers.

I gave a talk at the 2021 Web Engines Hackfest on how SpiderMonkey compiles a WebAssembly.Module, covering compiler tier selection, streaming parallel compilation, background tier-up, lazy stubs, and code caching.

Have you ever tried implementing a scrollable element where new content is being added and you want to pin the user to the bottom?

I wrote an article about the work on scroll anchoring that I did for Firefox 66.

I’ve been intending to write some new content on my blog, so I thought I should also update the site while I’m at it.

There’s been a lot of discussion this past week around Microsoft’s decision to abandon EdgeHTML and its implication on the future of the Web.

It’s been over a year since I first wrote about cbindgen.

Rust is a great language for doing tasks normally done in C/C++.

After a short break from coding for school, I finally got enough free time to finish a project.

In my spare time this summer I set out to write a programming language from scratch.

I’ve always been interested in how networking protocols work, and how they can be reliable and also efficient.
