@whitequark I actually like that I can just setup emsdk in a project subdirectory without having to pollute PATH or setting up env variables, instead directly calling emcc via an absolute path or alias "just works" (same with the WASI SDK).
@danil@zeux sometimes it's not about whether a compiler is available but whether an old project even supports a more recent compiler toolchain. In Drakensang Online, updating Visual Studio versions always was a massive logistical undertaking which nobody looked forward to (also because VStudio didn't have binary compatibility for prebuilt libraries across VS versions).
All I understood so far of the OpenAI drama is that Silicon Valley must be a religious cult run by lunatics. It's probably not a wise idea to let these people define the future.
