Hi, The community might like to note that Mozilla Corp has flagged my technical comments in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1342060 as "advocacy" and "off-topic".
I respectfully dispute both of those characterisations of my comments, and I fully believe that independent examination would find my comments very informative technical responses and very much on topic. Mozilla Corp has also ignored my escalation of the review and landed the patches, and even closed the issue as resolved. Keep in mind I can demonstrate better performance than Mozilla Corp and for the past two years, and for the past two years I have been trying very hard to get Mozilla Corp on track to better performance, and have patches still pending that have not advanced in the past two years. I am not just some smart-arse here saying I can do better, I have been showing and explaining how to do better and was submitting patches until they stopped being accepted. How much merit does Mozilla Corp have masking sound technical input by characterising it as "advocacy" and "off-topic"? If they disputed the technical merits of my input then I think we know they would have, and they have had two years to do so. I would note the such actions by Mozilla Corp have characterised the past two years of work on the WebAssembly component, and it does not seem consistent with the espoused principle of this community. I don't think this is a good working environment, and it seems little wonder that the design is in the state it is and not ready for launch. Is there no-one within Mozilla who has any shame for the approach taken by Mozilla Corp in the development of this module? Is there no-one with some competence in this module who can see and understand the technical problems with the wasm version being deployed? By aligning with Google and Microsoft and Apple on WebAssembly, and given their combined market share, Mozilla has little control now, you have dug yourself into a hole. You can't dig out of that hole without a framework that does not exist, so it would require more agreement, and I think Mozilla should be using what little leverage remains to get concessions for support for that way out. Wish I could say good job Mozilla Corp.
