+title:  "This Week in Rust and WebAssembly 008"
+---
+
+Hello and welcome to another issue of *This Week in Rust and WebAssembly*!
+
+[Rust](https://rust-lang.org) is a systems language pursuing the trifecta: safety, concurrency, and speed.
+
+[WebAssembly](http://webassembly.org) is a stack-based virtual machine and instruction set. It is fast, safe, portable, and part of the open Web platform. By compiling to WebAssembly, we can run Rust code on the Web!
+
+This is a weekly summary of Rust and WebAssembly's progress and community.
+
+Did we miss something? Tweet to us at [@rustwasm](https://twitter.com/rustwasm) or [send us a pull request](https://github.com/rustwasm/rustwasm.github.io).
