This comment is inappropriate and unnecessary. Additionally, shows you do not understand what this quote is saying.
Sorry I’m unfamiliar. Why?
When I was creating https://github.com/GrantMatejka/rasm I initially wanted to add a Wasm target to the Chez Scheme backend for Racket. Ultimately didn’t work out, but the paper goes over the process a bit
I built rasm (https://github.com/GrantMatejka/rasm) to compile racket to wasm. Definitely not production grade, but fun nonetheless

From what I understand, this allows you to run untrusted js anywhere, as long as there’s a wasm runtime.

This repo in particular is for JavaScript host environments

You can also use node to execute webassembly programs.

You do have to create a js host file, load in your webassembly and then run it with node.

Thanks for your input, glad to see a company actually care about principles and not just use them as a break room poster.

Please keep these blog posts coming. Really shows people Oxide stands for something and what your values look like in practice.

Makes up and coming engineers happy when they feel like some tech companies will actually care about them as a human.

Great piece and thanks for sharing.

Does Oxide face a challenge of feeling the need to creatively compensate especially motivated team members, or do the company values and hiring process promote a general and widespread highly motivated and quality team, with maybe a more consistent level of contributions from each individual than a traditional org structure? Or a different alternative entirely?

Love to hear your thoughts on this as you said you hire people 'if we saw them contributing to the company as much as anyone else', but what if some people just don't contribute as clearly/observably?

Also are we going to get more On the Metal episodes?
