This idea, especially, titillates me: That's actually easy enough to do I just went ahead and made it. so behold: http://webassembly.arsdnet.net/ and the source is pushed up to github, with just a little bit of effort you can prolly run it at home. I don't have write access publicly to my server here to play with... but I might even add a little form for that so you can goof around with this dead-simple by copy/pasting some source code into the browser form. But still with this I can add more demos easily and you can see the source in the browser so it is something to play with.

Yeah, I learned yesterday that there's a whole other PC tetris world I had no clue about. I only ever played the Nintendo/ELORG version on the NES. On that, dpad is left, down, speed, and then the A button is rotate. So for my clone I based it on that, arrows move, space bar, on the opposite side of the controller, does the rotation. The specifics of piece movement etc. are kinda based on that NES game too and the newer PC games have all kinds of other rules that I just never knew. But oh well, the game was at first something to just kill time on a boring flight, so I wrote it from memory on my laptop. Then it posted as a simpledisplay.d demo basically. And now I used it for webassembly because I thought it was super cool to have the very same source code we used on desktop last week in the browser this week (even though like I said there, I cut a LOT of corners to finish it in my limited time). Now I kinda want to expand the library a bit more. It occurs to me if I did draw text too and a little bit more input events, then my terminal emulator could run in the browser. Then my terminal client code can go there since it can embed the emulator. And a little more work, minigui.d's custom widgets can too... It wouldn't be a good experience tbh but it might be cool online demos of future programs and can also load up some of these little games etc on mobile too though the browser.

Re: MetaCall Polyglot is now available form D

Recently a contributor has implemented support for DLang (Port), which means you can use MetaCall from D to call functions in C#, NodeJS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, Python, Cobol.. I would like to know what do you think about that, and if you see it useful for embedding other languages in D, for example to allow scripting to extend a project. Any feedback will be highly appreciated. I leave here the link of the repository: https://github.com/metacall/core If someone is interested in the D port you can find the source here: https://github.com/metacall/dlang-port This is actually useful to me. Thanks

In theory we could make a lot more work by building up one function at a time. In practice I gotta get back to real work so don't hold your breath :) Just needs a rotation feature (unless I am just unaware of how to do that.) But pretty cool project
