I like D in general, however it is missing out in WASM where other languages like Rust, Zig, even Go are thriving. Official reasoning usually included waiting for GC support from WASM runtime, but other GC languages seem to just ship their own GC and move on.

OpenD added almost-full (you can't catch exceptions or spawn threads, so not really full, but the GC and such work fine) wasm support with like .... i think it was less than one day of work. wasm sucks though, what a miserable platform.

what's the latest news about OpenD, anyone?

I had read about the split (D vs. OpenD) recently on the Dlang newsgroup.

Also, just had the thought that the split may damage Dlang's progress / prospects, for users, like the Phobos issue etc. stuff was supposed to have done.

I don't know much about those details either, I had just read a bit about it earlier, as an interested light user of the language.

Why is WASM a miserable platform?
