Current state of Scala and WebAssembly Component Model

Recently, Wasm is used in different areas: safely running AI-generated code, server-side applications with ultra-fast cold starts, and language-independent plugin systems. What Wasm itself can do is just a pure computation. It cannot affect the outside world directly. Things like file I/O, clocks, and networking have to go through interfaces imported from the host. So unless the host explicitly gives it access, a Wasm module cannot perform external effects. This is why Wasm is often described as a sandbox.

How to evaluate your agents?

Evaluating agentic systems is a multi-dimensional challenge that requires a multi-layered framework. A robust evaluation system must verify both functional and non-functional requirements. The system should verify whether an agent is fulfilling its core objectives, while performing efficiently, safely and with low latency. Furthermore, the system must account for scalability while ensuring the agent's underlying reasoning remains transparent and traceable. Those different evaluation layers allow, to evaluate the model both from the technical and strategic business perspectives.

AI Must-Read for June 2026: Top Trends that Keep Great Engineers Ahead

A monthly reading roundup - no chasing every model, no top-50 lists, no marketing. One thread running through it all: the best model on the planet can be switched off on a Friday afternoon, so the real asset is what you build around it. You lease the model, but the process is yours.

Diffusion models quantization benchmark

Diffusion models became de facto standard in image generation. While remarkably powerful, they rely on a multi-step process of iterative denoising, which takes time. Text generation is also processed in a sequential manner, however the text can be streamed and visualized token by token, giving a natural, real-time feeling, similar to how humans read or write a text. With images, we must wait for the final denoising step to complete before a usable result appears. This makes optimizing diffusion models for speed and efficiency a critical challenge.

From Tasks to Ownership: What Changes When You Move into Development Tooling?

Depending on the team and project, developers may work from well-defined requirements or help shape solutions from the ground up. In developer tooling, the latter tends to happen particularly often. We spoke with Karol Skóra about what surprised him most after moving from backend development into tooling and why communication may be just as important as technical expertise.

Building Tools for an Unlimited Number of Edge Cases

Most developers build software for a specific customer. Tomasz Godzik works in a very different environment. As one of the engineers behind Scala open-source projects such as Metals and the Scala 3 compiler, his users can be anyone - from developers inside large organizations to contributors on the other side of the world. We talked about open source, development tooling, AI, and the kind of mindset required to solve problems that often have no documented solution.
