Just wanted to chime in to say this is really cool. I dreamed of building something like this for the Extism ecosystem but it was a huge lift to unlock all the pieces. This looks like lots of innovation all the way down the stack. Kudos!

Thanks Ben! Took us a bit to figure out the best architecture for it, but once it became clear then it was just a matter of implementing the missing bits.

I think the fact that WASIX is much more mature now have helped to increase development speeds quite a bit!

Glad to hear you’re enjoying it! Would love to meet up some time if you ever get the chance.

welcome! if you're looking for some people to connect to or get help from check out the local dev community site: http://noladevs.org/

Speaking of community, there is a really nice little tech community going strong in New Orleans that I think reflects the culture talked about here. If you are ever in town you should stop by an event https://www.noladevs.org/.

Feel free to reach out to me if you want some intros.

NOLACon is nice too. I'm down to meetup for Xbox Game development (I have a DevKit) and hacking stuff. The sites Slack invite link is dead btw.

yes, the local security community punches above their weight i think.

BSides Nola is a little more than a week away https://nolabsides.com/nolabsides-main

Any recommendations on which meetups are worth attending?

Hack night is the generic networking meetup at the rusty nail. It's way more casual. No presentations or organizing. below-c-level and frontend party are generally more organized and have talks. All the meetups happen before (and geographically near) to hack night on the same night. So you can generally do both. See a meetup then walk to the bar with everyone for the networking event.

Typically every Tuesday night at the Rusty Nail bar at 7 PM. A lot of the community meets for so-called Hacknight.

Also a link on that noladevs site to the community slack. That one has been going since early Launchpad days....what? 14 years ago?

This is the first i've heard of people using the SSE transport locally. What purpose what that serve? Is this by design because the chrome extension could not talk to it otherwise?

BTW, you should really run your MCP servers in a sandboxed environment, esp if they don't need to do things like `exec` or read from the filesystem. We do this with the https://mcp.run ecosystem by wrapping them in wasm. Because they are wasm you could also run them right in the chrome extension!

I'm not sure where they congregate, but I've encountered some minecraft people using chicory probably for this purpose. IDK how minecrafts plugins currently work but i'd imagine chicory is more secure and the overhead may be worth it for some cases.

Glad you appreciate it! On top of being a Java joke it’s an homage to my home, New Orleans. We still drink coffee with chicory here due to some events during the civil war and then a changed cultural taste. Though the history in this isn’t exactly clear I think https://neworleanshistorical.org/items/show/1393

Yes i think so. it's just a jar

Scala needs the Garbage Collection and Exception Handling proposals(afaik). They are planned but not implemented yet in Chicory.

wait, was the question running scala in wasm or running chicory in scala?

To wasm or not to wasm.

Well, running Chicory in Scala is seamless, I thought this comment was targeting the effort to compile Scala to Wasm in the Scala.js project.

This is distributed as just a jar, should you can invoke it from Clojure, if that is what you mean.
