Mashi - A compressor for JS/WASM 64k intros
category: code [glöplog]
I am not familar with wasm/js, but considering switching because of this wonderful tool, so I am curious and honestly asking:
Why the focus on wasm over JS?
What are we compiling to wasm that is better than JS? Not C/C++ via emscripten, as you pointed out sagacity, that was my conclusion as well.
It's been on my mind. What are the compressed size and performance characteristics of javascript versus other languages you can compile to wasm? Is it really beatable?
Are you guys using some magical language? Or is the performance of JIT js just worse than I think?
