    In professional contexts as a software developer you will manage just fine with just English. Free time context and true integration to society will require learning Finnish. But y…

    Currently there is nothing to stop mappers using tags in wrong ways. It should just be flat out impossible. If a field/tag isn't defined in the schema, it could not be used. The ra…

    The high level goals of WASM do include access to browser APIs, but the MVP version that is being implemented now, does not yet allow it: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob…

    Great to see progress, but 1668 dropped frames in the test is a bit underwhelming.
