As I explain in the RamFuzz overview paper [0], Dan Luu's idea is unlikely to work because fuzzing uses mutation techniques developed for file input, not individual parameter values. What does seem to work is frameworks like EvoSuite

I was thinking the same thing -- if you don't go for the kill, but someone else does, they'll likely end up deciding your fate for you. That doesn't exactly "optimize for happiness". OTOH, what would you do with th

I looked into this while making RamFuzz[1], but parameter generation (QuickCheck) is quite different from input-blob evolution (AFL). It wasn't clear to me how best to leverage a parameter mutation that happens to increase coverage.

I like Beck's vision for the future, and I agree that we should keep experimenting in order to learn which tests tend to work and why. But we don't need to do it all manually -- we can use computers to automate and speed up such

Before I left Google, I worked on this briefly and produced this PR: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/pull/708 It summarizes the discussion so far between various stakeholders. I've since moved on

In my day, we'd use moderators: put the forum/list in a mode where every new post goes through a human review first. After a while, things calm down, and you revert to the anything-goes default. I don't know how well that wo

There is an effort under way to ensure wasm debugging is at least as easy as JS debugging: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/pull/708

It's hard to speculate how the culture and philosophy of web development will change, so let's leave that aside and consider what's possible to do. It's certainly possible to compile into wasm a desktop program in a hig
