Surfer - recent and upcoming development
summary
Surfer is a Rust waveform viewer built on egui that runs on Linux, Windows, macOS and as WASM and a VS Code plugin from the same codebase. It already reads VCD, FST, GHW and FTR files, releases under EUPL 1.2, and v4.0.4 is imminent. Recent additions include an index‑based fixed‑point translator, a LoongArch64 disassembler, translators that show source snippets, a WASM plugin ABI (Rust/Python/JS/etc.), grouping/folding, command/script files (extension noted as suckle) and a compressed remote server to avoid copying huge VCDs.
