<kaizer>Quick question y'all why no foss scheme ai? <kaizer>I'm asking all over the place so dont be surprised but this is free money so I'm quite confused <jackhill>I ran into some folks online (DivestOS (Android Distro)) that seem to have a phobia about wasm. I hadn't encountered this before. Seems to be JIT related (they disable it in their browsers). <dthompson>sounds like a fear of jit more than a fear of wasm? <jackhill>dthompson: yeah, I think mostly? There were a couple of folks in the conversation who had different views, but that seems the main part of it. It was dissapointing to me since JS can run without a JIT. <jackhill>seems like wasm could too, but it was a limitation of the way browsers implement it. <jackhill>I guess I was just sad because I was hoping wasm would become more universal <dthompson>sure you can run wasm without jit. production runtimes use jit, though. <jackhill>I wonder if there is some way to bridge this devide so that wasm can be more universal. <jackhill>also, that's interesting. Naïvely assume that more optimisations have already been done producing wasm compared to vanilla JS. <dthompson>without really knowing this project I'd say that they're just overly paranoid <jackhill>yeah, unfortunatly I don't know enough about browser internals to really engage with them.
