#33Using a “core dump” (dumping the webassembly heap) is an interesting optimization approach with historical precedent both in TeX itself and projects like Emacs (dump/unexec) — https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Bu... It’s also notoriously fragile and non-portable on native targets; I’m curious how one implements it under webassembly, and how it compares.

Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo had suggested wanting something like a real-time Overleaf to teach his classes at https://eulercircle.com/ Interrupting and resurrecting the TeX-in-the-browser would let you render a document as it is…
