They seem to adopt a rapid iteration model closer to browser rather than typical language runtimes. So a browser 1.0 is nothing close to finished. I personally have no problem on it. But I think it is indeed strange that they sound so serious about correctness while constantly rolling new major versions.

Nothing closed to finished is no joke. Been trying to share memory between a main-thread wasm controlling UI and worker-thread wasm doing heavy compute. One problem after another only to find mutexes are janky / non-operable due to main thread wasm not being allowed to block?

So need to come up with some hacks so my code can do basic things like locks with shared memory. Not sure what these folks are thinking but I’m looking forward to a day when one codebase truly works everywhere.
