Ask HN: A TeXmacs document viewer using WebAssembly? Would this be feasible?
The idea is to compile the TeXmacs typesetter via WebAssembly to create a flawless viewer for TeXmacs files on the web.
And unlike PDFs, this would support word wrapping at the window edge.
Would this be a feasible thing to do?

Some implementation notes from the Wolfram developer who started the open source Mathics project are available here: https://medium.com/wolfram-developers/performance-through-elegant-javascript-15b98f0904de https://medium.com/wolfram-developers/performance-through-el...
