WCGI Is WebAssembly + Old School CGI

WCGI combines the newest innovations with the technology of the old. To what end? CGI is dead. Long live WCGI!

CGI (Common Gateway Interface) was a way for web servers and server-side programs to interact as simple

as taking a request over STDIN and returning a response over STDOUT. The protocol however was inefficient because it required a new process to be respawned each time a page was served. As such it was superseded by technologies which were better, faster, more secure, with better integration with the web server.
One such was FastCGI which was introduced as a middle ground between the PHP Apache Module and the CGI application. It allowed scripts to be executed by an interpreter outside of the web server and included the security benefits of CGI without any of the inefficiencies of CGI. For an example in Java, see Servlets.

Europe Gets Its Own LLM

EuroLLM is a fully open-sourced large language model made in Europe and built to support all twenty-four official EU languages. While several European states have separately produced their own LLMs, such as Greece's "Meltemi" or the recent offering from Switzerland "Apertus", there was no solution that catered for the languages of all 24 states belonging to the EU block. The time has come for this status to change with the appearance of EuroLLM, a foundational model that supports them all. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18448-europe-gets-its-own-llm.html

Open Source Is Not Just About Software

It's about infrastructure as well, something that although not attracting the limelight, is as important as the open source software it hosts. Today the stewards of the largest open source registries in the world have issued an open letter demanding urgent reform in how open source infrastructure is funded, maintained, and operated. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/136-open-source/18334-open-source-is-not-just-about-software.html

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times.

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times. This leads to faster results for data scientists, engineers, biologists, economists, administrators, and programmers. I remember the time when the saying was "Learn Perl so you don't have to learn the Shell and its hundreds of utilities". Fast forward some decades and the use of shell scripts still has not been eradicated. On the contrary, their use has increased due to the rise of containers, VM's, administering the cloud, and Linux itself. This also serves as a lesson to those who are quick to denounce technologies as 'dead'. There's a time where a new use case revitalizes an old technology. So what is meant by "Unix philosophy"? full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/14990-the-pash-project-advancing-the-unix-philosophy-one-step-further.html
