It's great to see AWS use standards like WebAuthn and make it easier for people to move away from pure passwords. It should benefit AWS users and their customer's data but hopefully pushes further adoption.


I'm pretty sure services like pika.dev/skypack.dev/jspm.io are trying to solve the CJS to ESM problem so you can use it directly in the browser (or deno).

Last time I checked they seemed to lean into using rollup to take care of the translation under the covers.


That's not the point here. It's about that a thin CJS wrapper to an ESM module isn't possible but the way around is.


Sorry I misread your comment. But is it not easier to write an CJS wrapper around ESM given that its format is a lot looser?

From what I have seen seems pretty typical to simply export the named properties using a fresh module.exports = {...} and then use default as the main export?


Enpass is another alternative with good cross device and platform support. Under the covers they use SQLCipher[1] which I’m guessing you could build your own interface for.

I'm pretty sure linkerd 2 has switched to their own rust/tokio based solution


They do and that is why they are a contender. Not a user of envoy.


They touch on the importance of compiling to efficient JavaScript in their FAQ https://www.dartlang.org/faq#q-why-isnt-dart-more-like-haske...

But it probably also helps that one of dart's creators, Lars Bak also developed the V8 JavaScript engine.


Which is also worth mentioning, builds part of its package management on top of nix https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/about/


It does make you wonder who advisors these law makers because it comes across as if they don't even have a basic understand how tech works.


Good to see they are confident enough to cut a 1.0 release. We have been happily mixing the cgroup and kvm/Clear Containers runtimes for a for a couple of months now.


Mozilla hosted a Rust Meetup last December on crypto you might be interested in.

Tony Arcieri's talk in particular covers a lot of the areas Rust help prevent some of the recent snafus but also covers the areas Rust might be more dangerous to implement crypto in https://speakerdeck.com/tarcieri/thoughts-on-rust-cryptograp...

Very cool. Thanks for the tip!


Not wanting to take anything away from a good read. It looks like Cuckoo Filter's might be a better alternative, particularly if interested in the flexibility of adding and removing items dynamically.
