When running on Deno Deploy I get: `TypeError: process.cwd is not a function` My repo is open source: https://github.com/cool-calm/calculated-world

I have a confession… I don’t like `unless` — I find it confusing as I have to negate an `if` statement in my head. A variation of `unless` that I...

Read memory offset, incorporating size of statically allocated pages for string constants

4

Currently the string constants are just thrown into memory from offset `0xFF`. You must write `Memory.pages(1)` for string constants to even work — this sucks! What we should do is...

Calls are two steps: there's an Elixir wrapper for the natural experience and autocomplete, and there's the call instruction. Tree shaking aka dead code elimination is ideal for keeping the...

Currently it’s just the level of indent as a whitespace string. It should be broader context.

Allow specifying alignment to loads and stores

2

e.g. ```wat (i32.load align=1 (i32.const 0)) (i32.load align=4 (i32.const 0)) (i32.store align=4 (i32.const 0) (i32.const 1)) (i64.store align=8 (i32.const 0) (i64.const 1)) (f32.store align=4 (i32.const 0) (f32.const 1.0)) ``` The...

Move away from nul-terminated strings?

1

Orb conveniently converts strings like `"abc"` into an integer “pointer”, and automatically adds an `(data)` entry initialized in memory at that pointer offset. These strings are modelled after C’s strings....

Compile to `.wasm`

1

Currently Orb only outputs WebAssembly text format (`.wat`). This can run in some libraries like `wasmex` or be converted using `wat2wasm` but it would be best to output `.wasm` directly....
