We will share project updates and announcements here.
This blog also aims to illustrate how Pyodide can be used for real-world projects. If you have a nice Pyodide use case that you would like to share, we accept submissions on Github.

The code size was reduced by 25% from 12 megabytes to 9.1 megabytes. These gains came from this pull request which changed the way we handle function pointer casts. Here is a plot showing the improvements in recursion depth:...
