alt Hacker NewsI think you’re kidding, but wouldn’t you have to maintain different code bases for each platform? C compiler gets you everywhere and WASM.

Yes, and? As the cost of code generation approaches zero, this starts to make more sense, especially if you do have mechanisms in place to ensure safety and correctness.
I did an experiment a couple weeks ago of having Opus 5.5 translate an MP3 decoder from Rust into Cortex-M33 assembly language, both raw asm and symbolasm. The code was 3x smaller and ~1.5x faster than Rust -O3. These seem like gains that are worth it.

Just ask the slop machine to translate the binary to every platform.
Once you have Wasm, it gets you everywhere and the best path to Wasm is Rust.
