Two of Meta’s software engineers, Andres Suarez and Michael Bolin, join Pascal Hartig (@passy) on the Meta Tech Podcast to discuss the details of DotSlash, Meta’s new open source tool.
DotSlash reduces the effort of distributing binaries and toolchains for developers. Instead of committing large platform-specific executables to a repository, DotSlash combines fast Rust programs with prefixed JSON manifests. #! Transparently fetch and execute binaries.
Learn how DotSlash is built and used at Meta, and how Michael and Andres’ career trajectory led them to create this open source project at Meta.
