    regarding the Sdl2 on wasm thingy, I think c binding crates in rust can't compile because of a wasm abi mismatch at the moment. once C compilers decide on wasm's multi-return ABI, rust can proceed to match that. until then, rust can just wait :( https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83788 for reference.
