I doubt anyone is suggesting "magic" and obviously when people talk about 'safety' they mean preventing crashes and escaping the VM.

What specific marketing are you talking about? Link what you're referring to.




Read. My. Comments. I am not claiming that WASM has been misleadingly marketed. pjmlp is. Ask him to link to what he's referring to.


After all this, now you're going to say you don't actually have any of these criticisms and you were just repeating someone else's claims?

Ask him to link to what he's referring to.

He posts this stuff in half the webasm threads I see. Like you he never has anything to back it up and you both get very upset at people asking.


YES! I DISAGREE WITH PJMLK! ALL MY RESPONSES TO PJMLK HAVE BEEN ME DISAGREEING WITH HIM! ALL MY RESPONSES TO YOU HAVE BEEN ABOUT HOW YOU CAN ARGUE AGAINST HIM BETTER BY UNDERSTAND WHICH WRONG CLAIMS HE ACTUALLY MADE, SO THAT YOU'RE NOT ARGUING AGAINST STRAW MEN! PAY ATTENTION!

This is my last response in this thread. You've displayed a profound inability to think. I can't be part of this anymore.


Maybe you should reply to him then instead of getting so upset.


I already did reply to him, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38613663.


I don't really understand your expectations here. You seem to disagree with someone else and they won't reply to you to give you evidence of their claims. What do you hope to accomplish by replying to me?


I replied to pjmlp because I thought (and still think) he was wrong in his characterization that WASM is a failure because it doesn't magically make insecure C programs secure.

I replied to you because I thought (and still think) you were wrong and/or misunderstanding what pjmlp was saying.

I can disagree with two people at the same time. I don't see the issue.
