23:44 🔗 azakai SketchCow: it's in the spoiler link ;) we're switching the default backend next week
23:45 🔗 SketchCow What does even mean
23:47 🔗 azakai the backenbd is the core compiler part of emscripten, that transforms source code into webassembly. over the last few years we've been working to replace the old asm.js backend with the new wasm backend, which is better in many ways. it's finally ready now
23:49 🔗 bai any significant features or potential breakages we should look out for?
23:52 🔗 azakai biggest feature is incremental compilation, so the link stage is much much faster. otherwise it usually emits faster and smaller code by a few % but nothing huge (last backend was already quite good...). no major breakages we are aware of, but there are some minor differences, see https://emscripten.org/docs/compiling/WebAssembly.html#backends
