  What’s wrong with man ascii?

  I usually use Json5. It’s JSON, but with all the weird quirks fixed (comments added, you can use hex numbers, you can have trailing commas etc.)

  Sure, you can autogenerated js bindings, but as soon as you need to start debugging or optimizing you need to understand the js that was generated for you.

  I think the truth is that not only can’t WASM manipulate the DOM, but javascript was build to manipulate the DOM and has been moulded around this purpose. Secondly, if you want to use WASM from another programming language, that is just another language you need to learn on top of javascript, because we are not at a stage where we can replace javascript (because of the DOM). Fo most it’s more cost effective to just optimize their javascript code instead of adding another layer to the tech stack.

  First semester of my cs degree, it was around 50/50. After 3 semesters very few women were left. Spoiler: it was not because they could not handle the courses.
