> forum is awash with questions from beginners like “How do you make for loop in reverse? or “What allocator to use in WASM?” Most get answered within minutes.

You wouldn't get a chat awash with these questions if they could be easily searched for.

Yes you would.

1. Not as much because people can actually find the answers to their questions before locking to the chat

2. On top of that you can make info on and solutions to other issues/problems actually available and accessible. Like the one the author describes later in the same text

Instead all this info is locked behind a proprietary chat platform
