I tried manually carving out this function and compiling using porffor, then tested on checker.ts (3MB .ts file) as the parsing test input. It works! It is ~10x slower with GCC -O0 but with -O2 cold it is more or less NodeJS speed! JIT speeds up 3x once it's warm though. Anyway very promising!

A fine tribute to Magic Juan here; and great to see the collaborations being highlighted.

This track still serves as one of my dictionary definitions of techno music; an absolute masterclass. youtu.be/YHUU7wzpO3w?...

So I have a question for you programmer types, especially if you've worked with wasm and Python but any lang that compiles to wasm is valid experience, because I legit have no sense or clue about this:

How easy is it to blow past a gzip-compressed wasm payload size limit of, say, ~3MB […]
