Right?
The idea that an x86 emulator, written in C99, would require node to build is a smell if I’ve ever smelled one.
If a dev can’t be bothered to use standard tooling, can he be bothered to write safe and performant C? Is this kind of “cleverness” running throughout his code? Maybe the build process is “too complicated” for standard tools, which is a problem for sure.
This is more of a question for the next developer who tries to pull something like this, I don’t really want the OP to be discouraged from continuing their work. Just, maybe next time, don’t force JavaScript into a round hole.
- bitwize 4y agoNode is standard tooling for younger devs -- who also find JavaScript more tractable than Make, CMake, or Autotools. Tbh I'm kind of surprised they didn't use Gulp.
