The WebAssembly tool-conventions repository defines a Basic C ABI that standardizes how Clang and Rust compile C programs to WASM, enabling seamless interoperability across tools. This ABI cleverly separates the abstract value stack from a managed linear memory stack, handling scalars directly while passing larger aggregates via explicit memory allocation. Developers targeting WASM will find these mechanics essential for understanding generated code and optimizing FFI boundaries.

As WebAssembly (Wasm) expands beyond its browser origins, developers are unlocking unprecedented performance and portability for complex applications—from AI inference to edge computing. This shift promises to redefine cross-platform development.

A developer's quest for truly portable image preview generation reveals a gap in today's solutions—leading to an innovative proposal: Could WebAssembly enable secure, runtime-loadable handlers that eliminate native dependencies? We explore the technical vision and its ecosystem readiness.

Building plugin systems in Rust presents unique challenges from binary compatibility to safety guarantees. We dissect architectural approaches like WebAssembly, FFI, and gRPC, examining critical performance-security trade-offs facing developers in modular system design.
