In this episode of WasmAssembly, host Thomas Steiner welcomes Thomas Lively from Google, the new co-chair of the W3C WebAssembly Community Group. Taking over the role from past guest Deepti Gandluri (episode #2), we seize the opportunity to ask Lively the exact same three questions we posed to Deepti—listen back to compare their perspectives! In the second half, the two Thomases dive deep into the proposals Lively is personally championing, covering Custom Descriptors and JS Interop, and the highly-anticipated Shared-Everything Threads.
