Unix Man

(Parody of Nowhere Man)

He's a real UNIX Man
Sitting in his UNIX LAN
Making all his UNIX plans
For nobody.

Knows the blocksize from du(1)
Cares not where /dev/null goes to
Isn't he a bit like you
And me?

UNIX Man, please listen(2)
My lpd(8) is missin'
UNIX Man
The wo-o-o-orld is at(1) your command.

He's as wise as he can be
Uses lex and yacc and C
UNIX Man, can you help me
At all?

UNIX Man, don't worry
Test with time(1), don't hurry
UNIX Man
The new kernel boots, just like you had planned.

He's a real UNIX Man
Sitting in his UNIX LAN
Making all his UNIX plans For nobody...
Making all his UNIX plans For nobody.

Is this a Joke? Web development with Assembly

The more I looked the cooler this is though.  Suddenly a solid C platform that I can compiled C code and run in a remote browser.    What's been done so far is incredible, and I think it's the underlying engine for many future UI and VR experiences.


WebAssembly (Wasm) is an universal low level bytecode that runs on the web. It is a compilation target for languages like Rust, AssemblyScript (Typescript-like), Emscripten (C/C++), and much more! Wasm offer a compact binary format with predictable performance, and portability to run alongside Javascript and other host languages. Wasm is currently shipped in all major browsers, and has runtimes meant for running on servers or interfacing with systems using WASI.

Emscripten is a toolchain for compiling to asm.js and WebAssembly, built using LLVM, that lets you run C and C++ on the web at near-native speed without plugins.

WebAssembly Literacy   Google DOC - Ebook

You want to learn WebAssembly (Wasm) for coding web apps in [replace by your favorite language] instead of Javascript and are not interested by the WebAssembly Text Format (WAT) : THIS EBOOK IS NOT FOR YOU !

Indeed, there’re already many great tutorials about the amazing Emscripten project (C/C++) or about Rust or Go in order to enter new realms of web development without javascript and capitalizing on existing code bases.

Else you know javascript but not very well (use it just for jQuery plugins) : THIS EBOOK IS VERY PROBABLY NOT FOR YOU !
