Andres Suarez and Michael Bolin, two software engineers at Meta, join Pascal Hartig (@passy<\/a>) on the Meta Tech Podcast to discuss the ins and outs of DotSlash<\/a>, a new open source tool from Meta.<\/p>\n

DotSlash takes the pain out of distributing binaries and toolchains to developers. Instead of committing large, platform-specific executables to a repository, DotSlash combines a fast Rust<\/a> program with a JSON manifest prefixed with a #!<\/span> to transparently fetch and execute the binary.<\/p>\n

Learn how DotSlash was built, how it\u2019s used at Meta, and how Michael and Andres\u2019 career trajectories lead them to create this open source project at Meta.<\/p>\n
