The DIP is accepted, but it didn't describe that it would be enabled at some future time...? You shouldn't be reluctant to use preview switches. It's only that way to ease the transition for people, not because we're going to withdraw it. Don't really have a schedule at the moment. It'll likely be at least a year.

That's what matters. We've already had this -preview for quite a while; I have enabled it in an experimental context, but I don't tend to write and deploy code that depends on future-features. I stick to the current language when writing code I intend to share. Do you have some sense of when we will make this part of the language?

I would like to ask you to review it. You can find it here: https://gist.github.com/skoppe/7617ceba6afd67b2e20c6be4f922725d I'm assuming you already started some work in this area? Where can we track it? Great initiative! Johan You can track the work here: https://github.com/skoppe/druntime/tree/wasm Almost all unittests pass. I am in the process of getting `ldc-build-druntime` to build it, as well as hooking into main(). I really wanted to make a pr, so that others can build it as well, but I am pressed for time due to family weekend trip. It is on my list once I get back, as well as incorpareting all info from this thread back into the proposal. Some things to tackle before going beta: - AA unittests fail - reals (probably are going to be unsupported) - wasi libc needs to be distributed (either in source and compiled into wasm druntime) or statically linked - CI (but should be doable once ldc-build-druntime works) - hooking into main() (I thought about making a @weak _start() in druntime so that users can still override it when they want) (_start is the wasm's equivalent of _Dmain) - probably need help from LDC to spill i32 pointer on the shadow stack
