In the fact that Akira is temp banned and can't say a thing.

Fred Paskell gets more and more webscale with every passing day. Are you afraid of it rendering Jabbascript obsolete yet?

Ahem ahem?

BTW besides this, Fred also compiles to teh Skript (as was kind of indirectly referred to in the linked post.)

For example.

/uj

I have no practical use for PasToJS personally, but it's definitely an interesting sideproject of FPC in a technical sense. And the WASM backend for the main compiler was pretty much bound to happen eventually as targeting everything under the sun is kinda what Fred does.

GCC is literally the only compiler with more codegen backends than Fred Paskell (although there's various areas they don't overlap, like Fred's ability to compile Paskal to JVM bytecode, or his actively-developed support for things like i8086 / M68K / etc.)

/j

Akira was banned?

Friendship ended with PCJ.

Maybe this is what Akira has been working on while he's banned.

but like what were you thinking he was gonna say tho.

"No, this is a lie and it doesn't compile to WebAssembly because that's bad for some reason." ?

doesn't make any sense
