@ewaldhorn.bsky.socialBeen playing with WasmPascal and redid an older toy of mine in #pascal - nofuss.co.za/toys/pascal_... - compiled to wasm and with some hand-rolled JavaScript.
@djp1974.bsky.socialTwo errors:
one, to take everything literally;
two, to take everything spiritually.
- #Pascal
@ewaldhorn.bsky.socialnofuss.co.za/blog/wasm_pa... - Turns out that handling files in #webassembly in #pascal is not as simple as when running locally. Fortunately, it's not that difficult either. The trick is to let the browser do the work, whether it's input or output. As per usual, linear memory comes into play.
@ewaldhorn.bsky.socialThe post at nofuss.co.za/blog/wasm_pa... shows how to compile a simple #Pascal function to a Wasm module, using just your browser. I really should have started with this tutorial, but I was way too excited to get things going!
@theapexarchive.bsky.socialLB on higher conciousness ;)
