i'm sure they did it, that's fine

my point is that this is a nonsensical thing to do

its only nonsense from ones perspective... from another perspective it makes a lot of sense - if one wants to create a fully sandboxed browser terminal (benefits of which are huge). then compiling bash to WASM goes a long way as who wants to rewrite all that terminal code anyway?

now I know its hard to imagine someone other than your personal boogeyman contributing value to the open source world, but there is a real need for me to keep my coding skills up to scratch and it just so happens that `wasmer.io` are the coolest kids in WASM town right now, so I'll share my spare time with them thanks.

wasmer has a well-documented history of malicious behavior, they are very clearly not the coolest kids in WASM town, and very clearly not who you want to be aligning yourself with, but of course do whatever you like :shrug:
