### Adding WASM Support to a Native App

![WASM Networking](networking_wasm_recv.png)

Porting an existing native application to run in the browser as a [WASM]
application comes with many challenges, including adapting to the browser's
control flow, threading model, and security restrictions.

This month [Azriel] presented the challenges of adding WASM support to the
Amethyst game engine. The recording is on [youtube][wasm_yt] and the
presentation material is available [online][wasm_it].

- [`rlua`] is now part of the Amethyst organization.

`rlua` is a library that provides high level bindings between Rust and
[Lua]. Through [discussion][rlua_discussion], a number of people will be
sharing maintenance of the library.

- [`legion-task`]: A multi-tasking library for the [Legion] ECS.

This library by [bonsairobo] provides multi-tasking support on the Legion
ECS, allowing tasks to be executed in dependency graph order. Check out the announcement post in the [forum][legion_task_forum].

This is a port of the [`specs-task`] library, which provides the same
functionality for [SPECS].
