Custom Minecraft Classic client written from scratch in C

This is great.

It would be cool to do this in Rust and run on WASM.

NO it is NOT.

I said RUST to WASM.

That link is just for compiling C with JavaScript interropts.

I was simply commenting that:

'hey that is cool you did this with C'

'wow, this seems like it would also be a cool exercise to do with Rust'.

Minecraft was officially playable in the browser from the website back in the day!

Just saying that it's not really running in the web browser, merely displayed within it. And won't run today.

To "run in the web browser" you mean rewriting the game in javascript.

No, webassembly wasn't a thing yet at the time (arguably still isn't). I'm not sure emscripten existed, and even when it works it turns 20KB C++ binaries into 3MB of broken javascript. Non-starter for a performance-sensitive game engine.

Or in Malbolge and run on MMIX.

Whoever is downvoting this so hard, I'd like some explanation.

This was the most innocent comment ever.

Is there an anti-Rust sentiment?

Is it so bad to say something was a good idea, it makes me think of trying other things too.
