This is awesome, and also awesome is this: > I originally developed a WASM port of wxWidgets I had some fun looking at the commits here[1] and I can imagine a lot of classic wxWidgets apps are going to be ported to wasm now. Congrats, that a lot of dedication! [1] https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/compare/master...ahil...
