  • The issue has now been locked and no further conversation can take place on it. This is without a further comment.

    I found the discussion to be mostly very civilized and focused on finding solutions for those affected.

    It's all the right of the author. And he's done so before.

    Unfortunately, I'm afraid this could lead to a more fragmented ecosystem which is a pity.

    It takes a long time to build trust but it can be destroyed quickly. I'm not sure if the author cares about that though. From my reading of the comments he doesn't.

    "If there is implementation work needed in some build tools to accommodate it, someone should feel free to do that work (as I have done for Buck and Bazel, which are tools I use and contribute significantly to) or publish your own fork of the source code under a different name."

    This is so sad.

  • watt

    Runtime for executing procedural macros as WebAssembly

  • The precompiled binary is not a sandboxed WASM binary. Despite the name "watt" it has nothing to do with https://github.com/dtolnay/watt . You can look at the actual code to see for yourself.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • json

    Strongly typed JSON library for Rust (by serde-rs)
