 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bio:&lt;/strong&gt; Julian is a third-year PhD student at TU Darmstadt in Germany, supervised by Mira Mezini and co-supervised by Annette Bieniusa at TU Kaiserslautern. In his research, he is working on programming languages and verification tools for distributed systems, with a focus on privacy-preserving decentralized applications. When not in front of a screen, he enjoys hiking and playing board games.&lt;/p&gt;

While some of this was possible with various project-bespoke ABIs, having a shared standards-track canonical ABI and Component Model enables the creation of a broader ecosystem without fragmentation.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;p&gt;An increasing number of programming languages are able to produce components which implement the standard WASI &amp;ldquo;worlds&amp;rdquo; for [servers] and [CLI] applications as well as an infinite variety of custom interfaces. There&amp;rsquo;s also been innovation in tools like [WAC] that make it possible to compose arbitrary components statically with strong static type checking. This makes Wasm incredibly powerful as a way to build modular composable polyglot systems.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The ecosystem being built around Wasm and the Component Model make it a very promising target for new programming languages especially if they build Component-native toolchains and take the most advantage of WASI, the [Warg] registry protocol, Wasm-to-Wasm optimizers like [Binaryen], and Wasm-based dev tools like [Wow]. I created a new language called [Claw] recently to demonstrate this and also provide an ideal &amp;ldquo;glue code&amp;rdquo; language for augmenting and testing existing Components.&lt;/p&gt;
