A new JS/TS SDK! Check out the latest video from @thorstenhans.bsky.social and @karthikganeshram.bsky.social.
I've written a few apps with this new SDK, and it is excellent for building really powerful serverless functions.

Mark the day (today) I installed #bash LSP in #neovim. It has been a long journey coming from #powershell ... and many other unholy OS scripting "languages" / JCLs. Does anybody here remember Voice on ADR Vollie for #IBM Host? That was the craziest one I ever laid my hands on.

This is a very good drive into #hyperlight, including discussions of advantages and disadvantages - depending on your needs.
Over at Infoworld a deep dive into Hyperlight, Azure's lightweight, OSless virtual machine manager for Functions, wasm, and more. Hyperlight takes the unikernernel and makes it a library, ready for you to write single purpose VMs, controlled from Rust.
