Phippy’s Field Guide to Wasm
summary
A compact field guide plus an engineering push: a book that explains WebAssembly concepts and a developer toolchain that already runs — spin scaffolds, builds and deploys WebAssembly apps and reaches a developer from cursor to cloud in about 66 seconds while runtime starts under submillisecond startup expectations. A Kubernetes integration spin cube lets Wasm run side by side with containers, the component model composes cross‑language binaries in isolated sandboxes, and both projects are open source with CNCF contribution intent.
