For anyone who hasn't ventured into the depths of building secure sandboxed plugin systems for web applications extism is a gift! I haven't used it myself but might in the future once I need to support more languages in the plugins.
i was trying to build secure sandboxed plugin systems for web. i think there are a couple of problems being glanced over. one is that where do you host the wasm binary (its like 5mb for a simple print, actually just heard the audience question in the end) and secondly it's fine to run some simple function but as soon as you need a bit more visual UI then it's more difficult
@@kevinl.9657 the excel demo is a bit more complicated than any other extism demo. I’ll share the code though! in the meantime, I’d try out extism using JavaScript SDK, which will make the Excel part more familiar since it uses JS too
now if only we can do this in dart/flutter more relevant, how might one create a plugin system for a php app? that is, i'd like to have the same level of extensibility as just... adding php files
Extism supports embedding plugins in PHP apps today! If you'd like to write the plugins in PHP, we would need to support a PHP "PDK", which is interesting, and would be open to it!

wow, very kind kind of you to say! looking forward to see what you build 🤘

Just really like the nostalgy story! Thanks for this talk!
thank you! yes, the good old days of jQuery - sometimes I miss the simplicity
I have my jaw drop when you demo-ed the excel one. Damn!
glad you liked it :)
@@nilslice the problem is, i don't actually know how to do it. Lol

That calling WASM from excel demo 🤯
Looks like a cool project! tempted to try it out, maybe with a neovim plugin
now if only we can do this in dart/flutter

I'm waiting flutter session.
