He said one thing that had been annoying was that the WASM interface was basically POSIX, but the compiler didn't treat it as such for versioning. He'd had to implement a lot of versioned dummy code to get it to work. He would like to see the compiler recognize WASM as POSIX.
I imagine he's learned the hard way by now but no, it uses posix names but its all a lie and you need coordination between html js and your code to even consider reading a file "correctly" and I believe all the different places where wasm can be require slightly different hacks to make it work.
Its probably a bad idea to turn on whatever features as they will just be broken or worse, pretending to work until you implement something that actually uses it then youll play wack a mole for a long time and lets be honest your not going to find a full time wasm to even attempt to keep up with w3c's bullshit, much less make it nice and worth using, the least responsible standards committy on earth may just drop a years worth of work every 3 months for some rust "feature" no other language even understands.
