> WASM is also pretty fast these days so..

ironically everything is petty fast and everyone waste that speed adding things that allow for a cheaper labour. wasm included. it went from a "have some expertly optimized code in the browser" to "just compile this hide cpp thing and ship as a react component" to then "it allows our servers to run any crap without knowledgeable staff in each language"

we added so many Layers to cheapen labour that now all the labour costs goes into managing the Layers.




Ok hear this, I was toying with zig last week and compiled a quickjs wrapper that can run React and compiled that to wasm. So I have a JS runtime running wasm which runs quickjs runtime via zig and that runs React. Just trying to learn zig though but not much different than running PHP in WASM haha. Layers and layers of shit pressed together.


will definitely use it as the wrapper that launches my electron app
