To be fair, Garry’s Mod is up there too.

The amount of customisation that one “small project” opened up in general, is astonishing.

Oh, good to know. Last time I checked around WASM this wasn’t really an option.

See the main issue with that is you need to bundle everything into the app.

Modern computing is inherently cross-dependent on runtimes and shared libraries and whatnot, to save space. Why bundle the same 300MB runtime into five different apps when you can download it once and share it between the apps? Or even better, have a newer, backwards compatible version of the runtime installed and still be able to share it between apps.

With WASM you’re looking at bundling every single dependency, every single runtime, framework and whatnot, in the final binary. Which is fine for one-off small things, but when everything is built that way, you’re sacrificing tons of storage and bandwidth unnecessarily.

But human existence is suffering. Buddhism teaches that if you do incredibly well, you’ll be reborn as a being with a worry-free life. Being a plankton sounds exactly like that.

IMO human existence, with all its benefits, is waaaaay below plankton.
