I agree there's value in having so much R&D going on from multiple communities, but the question is "What is your pettiest programming related opinion" so I thought this qualified.
I believe WASI has the potential to change things down the line. We can all keep the languages we want, but at least we can stop writing basic functionality like "write a synchronous HTTP/2 server". So many replicated man hours in that.
Also, imagine how better in quality and in regards to security vulnerabilities if most languages were built on the same building blocks.
There's also the counter argument of centralizing vulnerabilities but hey, I didn't think this through :D
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
