May 17, 2021 State of D for webassembly | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
 | Hi D Our group has some spectragram (aka dynamic spectra) creation algorithms that are fast in Java and since D has many Java-ish concepts it looks like it would be do-able to port the code to D. If I take on this project my target would be to run as a webassembly program. What is the general state of support for GC dependent D-code running as webassembly? If the runtime is not ready that's okay, just wanted to inquire about the state of things. Thanks, | |||

A couple people have tried it and there's various bugs they worked through but some remained. I wouldn't recommend using it at this time unless you're prepared to do some specific webassembly hacks and maybe dive into the druntime a bit yourself. on the other hand if you are willing to dive in yourself a bit, you totally can make it work. I have a little website where I compiled some of my games to webasm: http://webassembly.arsdnet.net/ http://webassembly.arsdnet.net/tetris I did it with a custom runtime and a specialized port of my relevant D libraries. | |||
