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.
