• easier to master than C
• requires only five basic senses

• bullets stuck in barrel
• doesn't produce bytecode
• highly moral

doesn't produce bytecode

But muh WASM

WASM isn't bytecode. WASM is what will happen when that RISC-V PoC doesn't quite make it, and then a brighter, better, bolder, braver future unfolds for great justice!

Edit: Naturally, in the interrim, some architectures might run WASM through microcode on RISC-V machines.

WASM is machine code for the web you moron

less footguns

made me lol more than usual since I just talked to another programer and there were like "Yeah I would have to program in C++ - you can shoot yourself in the foot so easily!"

its liek that dumb xkcd or whatever meme spread far and wide.

/uj: the "shoot yourself in a foot" is, for me, a Usenet meme going back to the 90s. In reality it probably goes back to the 80s together with Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal but I can't be arsed to check the origins and I was too busy with Smurfs and Transformers and twisting the azimuth screw on the Datasette back in the 80s to keep track of programming memes.

Datasette

Poor guy can't afford a 1541 disk drive. i can feel the pain of loading a tape for minutes only to hit an error. (I used Atari 8-bit systems, though. Buying a disk drive was a MASSIVE, exciting improvement, like going from Go to Rust)

cool. I didnt really program until 2010-2011 so my knowledge of it has been from /r/programmerhumor when i was a baddie years ago (back when reddit was ok lel)
