Who exactly wants SharedArrayBuffer anyway?
#i'm afraid#the answer is#people looking to transpile c/c++ programs#and people looking to implement a similar feature in#webassembly#so that they can compile c/c++ programs#and I think trying to make it easy to compile other languages to js or webassembly is a good thing#other things equal#but implementing new browser APIs#with significant security implications#just for that purpose#seems like it will be a bottomless well of trouble#the fact that javascript can't do everything native code does#is a fundamental feature#necessary for it to be safe to use on the web#programming#js#javascript
