Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Let’s start by talking a little bit about your background, and what led you to create wasmCloud.

Topic 2 - Let’s begin by talking about Webassembly. What is it (a language, a framework??), and what problems does it solve for developers?

Topic 3 - Let’s talk about wasmCloud. Once you’ve built something leveraging Webassembly, how does it interact with wasmCloud?

Topic 4 - Everything in application development tends to be a progression from something prior. How did Webassembly evolve? Docker’s Solomon Hykes said that if wasm+wasi existed 7yrs ago, he never would have created Docker.

Topic 5 - Yesterday was WASM Day at Cloud Native Con. What were some of the highlights and focus areas?

Topic 6 - What are some of the early uses and usage patterns of Webassembly?

Topic 7 - What are some of the ways to get started with Webassembly and wasmCloud?
