   The new WASM 3 release is huge for web devs...

   WebAssembly 3.0 introduces major improvements including 64-bit memory addressing, native garbage collection, tail call optimization, and overhauled exception handling. These features enable languages like Rust to compile more efficiently for the browser without JavaScript workarounds. The release transforms WebAssembly from a compilation target into a genuine multi-language runtime environment, with practical applications ranging from client-side image processing to running full databases in the browser.

   Grpc Zero

   Quarkus gRPC Zero eliminates the need for native protoc binaries by running gRPC code generation entirely within the JVM. It embeds libprotobuf compiled to WebAssembly and translated to Java bytecode using Chicory, enabling portable and consistent builds across all platforms. Developers can continue writing .proto files as usual while avoiding platform-specific toolchain maintenance, simplifying CI pipelines, and reducing dependencies. The extension is currently experimental and available as a drop-in replacement for the standard quarkus-grpc-codegen artifact.
