- b33j0r 5y agoSo it’s a print driver only for WASM source code? Yes, I had the same thought, but it turned out to be Photoshop ;p

- cogburnd02 5y agoThe only thing you are is too correct.
- cesarb 5y agoI think it's a matter of environment, not age. If you're more used to the Windows ecosystem, you'd think of PowerShell by default; if you're more used to the Linux ecosystem, you'd think of PostScript by default. PowerShell (and dotnet in general) doesn't have much relevance to those who run Linux exclusively, while PostScript doesn't have as much relevance to those who run Windows exclusively (unless you have to deal with certain kinds of printers).
- jhgb 5y agoEven on Windows I've used PostScript many times more than I've used PowerShell.

- Keverw 5y agoI was thinking it meant WASM on the PlayStation haha. I seen that there's some project before but haven't been following it to use WASM for the binaries on Linux. So ARM or Intel programs could be compiled to WASM and only the host operating system would need to be compiled natively, which sounds like a very cool concept if it gained more support.
