Hey, I definitively thought you'd say the opposite due to the various
issues you had with unexpected changes. Well, just joking ;)
I admit I have the same issue than you: my projects often breaks on new
releases of Emscripten. I have to tweak the Doom 3 port regularly (well
on this project this is just for the fun. But I agree that for customers
projects, moving on new versions of Emscripten is a bit more worrying).
But I understand these recent breaking changes were done for good
causes: the new LLVM backend, Asyncify, updates toward WASI
compatibility, and so on... as so, due to the long-term benefits of
these new functionalities, I am happy with all that progress even at the
price of short-term issues
Cheers,

While I regularly complain about unexpected/undocumented change, I
think Alon's plan is pretty careful and reasonable.
Badly named variables are a perpetual mental hassle, and triggering a
clear error message means the change won't be obscure.
Cheers!

100% agree with Floh there. Changing such a thing is an open door
to a very obscure, hard to find, and unwanted potential "project
breaker", for a very minor added value...
Having to live with some minor technical debt due to badly named
things is acceptable I suppose.

such as change?
Yeah. TBH I'm not a fan of a name change even if the new name is
slightly more fitting. That's one of those obscure things that
suddenly breaks projects, usually at the worst possible time (even
with a deprecation note and period, this stuff is usually ignored).
If such a change would come with a real benefit (such as better
performance, or less code maintenance in the future) I'd be all for
it, but not when it's just one of the many "badly named things" in
computing :)
