Save the date! The Web Engines Hackfest 2026 will be held from June 15 to 17 in A Coruña (Galicia, Spain) www.igalia.com/2025/10/01/A...

web standards keep evolving so we need ever more tests; I talked to @littledan.dev, @technosophos.bsky.social, @andreubotella.com & @joyeecheung.bsky.social about processes: standards written in code > written in words. I also touch on the question of funding and who contributes to WPT and how

Why aren't we trying to cut off the US from anything in the rest of the world? Break their international supply chains, stop relying on American products, start building local alternatives.

🎙️ New Episode of Igalia Chats How we listen to and involve developers: Wishes, Signals, and the Shape of Standards @bkardell.com and @meyerweb.com chat with @w3c.bsky.social's Dominique Hazaël-Massieux www.igalia.com/chats/domini...

That moment when you were editing git history, and you fuck it up. I guess it's time for git reflog, commit nechromancy, and praying to Githulhu.

I was checking my bio in Mastodon (mastodon.andreubotella.com/@andreu), which is longer than fits here in Bsky. And noticed that I had "Linux guy" as a bullet point... which doesn't feel so right anymore. The "guy" part in particular. #gender #non-binary

Do I want to start *another* thread about Webkit's implementation of `-webkit-line-clamp` being bonkers *in the same day*? Because the more I look the worse it gets...

Did you know that Safari supports a percent value for `-webkit-line-clamp`? I thought I'd look into it; maybe it could be precedent for a `line-clamp`-related discussion in the CSS Working Group Turns out, not only didn't it do what I thought, but its implementation has an off-by-one error 😭 #css

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

The sentence "you can take two cross-origin windows *and make them same-origin*" has to be the most alarming sounding thing that then turns out to not be such a huge deal. (cont.)

Apparently the UK has designated the activist group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, meaning supporting them can get you up to 14 years in prison??? What the fuck are we even doing? We need to fight fascism in all of its forms, wherever it shows up. apnews.com/article/uk-p...

Andreu Botella & Luca Casonato talk about the new WinterTC and their plans related to standards for server-side runtimes @andreubotella.com @lcas.dev www.youtube.com/watch?v=elGN...

The Web Engines Hackfest 2025.Thanks to all the people that participated, the speakers and everyone that hosted a breakout session. Hope you have enjoyed the event and looking forward to seeing you all here next year.

We're going to have a breakout session to figure out the web integration of the TC39 AsyncContext proposal in ~5 minutes. You can join remote!

If you're not at @webengineshackfest.org what are you even doing. Come, it's awesome. Advanced discussions for authors/implementers/spec'perts.

Luca is covering the features needed for fetch that are only needed by servers.

Luca Casonato and Andreu Botella are next in the @webengineshackfest.org stage, presenting WinterTC, a standard for server-side runtimes

Next up we have Andreu Botella and Luca Casonato, talking about WinterTC, a standard for server-side runtimes.

@andreubotella.com and @lcas.dev talking about recent efforts in WinterTC

I'm at the @webengineshackfest.org and in 35 minutes (11 CEST) I'll be giving, together with @lcas.dev, a talk on WinterTC. You can catch the livestream on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=De4n...

The Web Engines Hackfest Starts Monday in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain. We're excited to host our largest @webengineshackfest.org ever! igalia.com/2025/webengi...

We're making the final preparations for the 2025 Web Engines Hackfest. This year is the biggest by far, with 150 people attending to discuss the web platform over 3 days. Big thanks to our sponsors @igalia.com, @mullvad.bsky.social, Huawei & Arm who have made this event possible! 🙏

With the next TC39 plenary less than a week away, Igalia’s Compilers team has just dropped a thorough blog post recapping April’s session. It walks through the standout proposals and discussions that will help steer JavaScript’s evolution in the months ahead. blogs.igalia.com/compilers/20...

Andreu Botella (@andreubotella.com‬) & Luca Casonato (‪@lcas.dev‬) will introduce us to WinterTC, a standard for server-side runtimes webengineshackfest.org#wintertc

Europeans, can we get 50k more signatures by tomorrow? eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Less than a month for the Web Engines Hackfest 2025, and we have already more than 125 people registered to participate onsite. It's going to be the largest edition ever, we're really happy about that and hope you all enjoy the event this year!

I'm pumped about the enum JS proposal, (that makes enums part of core JS, not just TS) -- not so much because of the proposal itself, but because one of the possible future directions for it would finally let JS evolve to crab. 🦀

Firefox users, we only need 2000 more 👍s at connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/bri... to bring back PWA support!

🎙️ New Podcast Episode: Maintaining Babel @bkardell.com and @meyerweb.com chat with @babel.dev core maintainer @nicr.dev about the project's past, present and future. www.igalia.com/chats/babel

The stock market can only hurt you if you believe in it.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

It's such a shame that it's possible to have areas of the platform like accessibility, internationalization, print, math and svg that just don't get the love from implementers. I'm really glad we have at least a few things like NLNet funding accessibility work: blogs.igalia.com/mrego/solvin...

A new edition of the Web Engines Hackfest will happen on June 2, 3 & 4 in A Coruña (Galicia, Spain). blogs.igalia.com/mrego/announ...

👋EU people: There's a citizen petition calling on the EU to ban "conversion therapy" to "cure" LGBTQ+ folks, a process people who've experienced it describe as "torture". It needs about 5x its current votes to be considered but is especially in need of voters from: Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, Belgium

This weekend, several Igalians will be in Brussels for #FOSDEM 2025, which will take place on Feb 1st and 2nd. We will be giving talks covering different #OpenSource tech and topics and, as always, we are super excited to have hallway chats with everyone. 📜👇

We posted igalia's last post on Twitter today...

This isn't a one-off. Fascism isn't an aberration, it's what an unchecked capitalistic system turns into, especially when reinforced by existing systems of oppression such as cisheteropatriarchy and white supremacy.

WinterTC is here 🎉 TC55 is a new Ecma Technical Committee for Web-interoperable Server Runtimes, originating from the existing W3C WinterCG group. This means the group is now able to publish standards, with the first effort being the Minimum Common API.

WinterCG is dead, long live WinterTC, now Ecma TC55! ecma-international.org/news/collabo...

In 2022, Igalia helped establish WinterCG, which aimed to establish interoperability across server-side runtimes, as well as with the web. Now, this group moves to Ecma, becoming WinterTC, with our own @andreubotella.com as co-chair alongside Deno's @lcas.dev www.igalia.com/2025/01/10/W...

Deno is committed to web standards - that's why we co-founded WinterCG two years ago. Today marks the next step in that journey: WinterCG moves to Ecma International as technical comittee 55 (TC55). Goodbye WinterCG, welcome WinterTC! deno.com/blog/wintertc

I just got a job offer from an AI and crypto company who's building a Chromium browser whose tagline is "The First Browser Built for Web3 & Crypto". Let me put this plainly: Fuck that.

We’re proud to share news of a big step toward the re-greening of our home city, A Coruña, and our part in making it happen. www.igalia.com/2024/12/20/C...
