Join host Thomas Steiner and Steve Manuel from Dylibso as they dive deep into the world of "squishy" Wasm applications. Steve discusses Dylibso’s mission to make all software squishy, using Wasm to unlock flexibility and extensibility in software development. The episode explores Dylibso’s projects like Extism and Chicory, and how Extism is being used in production with Wasm today. Come for the Extism logo, and stay for Tom’s provocative questions on Extism’s role in the WebAssembly ecosystem.
