fair enough, I suppose

seems pointless to extract `handle_suspend` here. There are very few reasons to extract code that isn't duplicated in more than one place; it's probably harder to read to extract the handling of the event than to handle it inline.

fair enough.

you can just expose javascript functionality as a component, if need be

I would think you could treat it as a normal GC reference and then just drop the resource when the GC collects the object.

I still don't understand how they managed to make a build system as bad as Gradle. It's like they tried to make it as horrible as possible to use.

sure, but when I've written zig this has never been an issue for me. `defer` makes memory management really easy.

If you want to auto-generate destructors, zig has really good comptime features that can let you do that.

I'm not sure why you shouldn't make your compiler accept CRs (weird design decision), but fixing it on the user-side isn't exactly hard either. I don't know an editor that doesn't have an option for using LF vs CRLF.

The unused variable warning is legitimately really annoying though and has me inserting `_ = x;` all over the place and then forgetting to delete it, which is imo way worse than just... having it be a warning.

We've had machine translation for a while and I don't think anybody particularly thinks of it as a bad thing? Writing something and then having a machine directly translate it (possibly imperfectly) is a lot different than a machine writing the thing.

Personally I would like people to try learning other languages more (it's hard but rewarding) but you can't learn every language ever, and it is really hard to learn a language to fluency.

The WASM component model is really cool in that you can export basically anything as a component and use it in basically anything else that can compile to WASM and understand components.

I would love something like this for native applications; I'm so tired having to wear C's skin every time I want to do bind together code written in different languages.

I disagree. That's how WASM is now, and I guess that's fine, but that's not all it could be. I really think it would be awesome if you could write code for the web in your preferred programming language.

iirc webassembly components need to explicitly import anything they use, so it should be transparent which dependencies something has by just grepping its WIT for `import`

what's with people inventing new torment nexuses every few weeks? could you people just chill, please?
