Client: How long will it take you to build this?

Me: Maximum of 7days

Day 1 to Day 5, To myself: I have so much time, lemme build a Js engine in Rust and open-source it. It shouldn't take that long.

Day 6, After many failed attempts at debugging RegExp:

Starts working on the client's product, scraps off sleeping hour (why do I sleep in the first place)

Day 7: At 23:59...calls clients, he doesn't answer, probably sleeping... Sends message "Product ready to be tested at your call, I've not slept in 7 straight days because I like you"

    @vane so does that mean you could invent your own javascript flavour by forgoing the browsers javascript engine entirely by using your own js engine in WebAssembly? 😲

    @heyheni As far as I know you can always do what the fuck you want, create own standards and shit on others job. That’s the beauty of IT. Problem starts if you want to get some money and need to attract people to follow you.

    I like those projects I mentioned cause they’re simple.

    As for WASM there are many languages that compile to it.

    There are also things like asm.js and emscripten where many people compiled many things like ex. QT, quake arena or Unreal Engine.
