Resend vs Semgrep: at a glance
What is Resend?
Resend's broadcast editor now compresses and converts images on upload.
Resend ships something almost weekly, mostly API surface: usage limits, broadcast duplication, clicked-link retrieval and headless webhooks all landed within a month. Distribution runs alongside, with Vercel v0, Stripe Projects and Laravel Cloud able to provision Resend inside their own setup flows. The October 19 release is a rare editor-side change: large images are compressed automatically, and WebP, HEIC and SVG files are converted to formats email clients render.
What is Semgrep?
Semgrep adds Objective-C as an alpha target, its first new language since Dart went GA.
Semgrep ships weekly on two tracks. Supply Chain added Bazel Maven workspaces in 1.177, Bun lockfiles in 1.179 and unpinned Python requirements in 1.181. The matcher promoted Dart to GA in 1.180. 1.182 adds Objective-C (alpha) with search- and taint-mode rules, and updates the C# Pro, Terraform HCL and Lua grammars.

◆ Current state
Resend ships something almost weekly, mostly API surface: usage limits, broadcast duplication, clicked-link retrieval and headless webhooks all landed within a month. Distribution runs alongside, with Vercel v0, Stripe Projects and Laravel Cloud able to provision Resend inside their own setup flows. The October 19 release is a rare editor-side change: large images are compressed automatically, and WebP, HEIC and SVG files are converted to formats email clients render.
◆ Where it's heading
The main arc is still API parity plus platform embedding, which points to Resend being provisioned and run mostly by platforms and agents. The editor work, a table component in September and image handling now, shows Resend also closing gaps for marketers who build broadcasts by hand. Both tracks widen who can send through Resend without leaving their tool.
◆ Prediction
Expect more hosting and framework platforms to get one-click Resend connections; the editor's next step is less clear from these entries.
Semgrep
5.0INFRA · APIS
Semgrep adds Objective-C as an alpha target, its first new language since Dart went GA.
◆ Current state
Semgrep ships weekly on two tracks. Supply Chain added Bazel Maven workspaces in 1.177, Bun lockfiles in 1.179 and unpinned Python requirements in 1.181. The matcher promoted Dart to GA in 1.180. 1.182 adds Objective-C (alpha) with search- and taint-mode rules, and updates the C# Pro, Terraform HCL and Lua grammars.
◆ Where it's heading
Language coverage is widening toward Apple-platform code, where .m files have so far sat outside Semgrep's rules, and Objective-C++ is promised separately. On the dependency side, Python requirements handling keeps moving toward how people write manifests by hand rather than how pip-compile emits them.
◆ Prediction
Expect Objective-C++ (.mm) support next, as the 1.182 notes say, and Objective-C moving out of alpha. The open item from 1.181, turning unpinned Python deps into findings, has no date yet.
