Because GIL is useful, preventing you from shooting yourself terribly in the foot among other benefits. Languages with better concurrency support (main reason for removing GIL) were designed from scratch for that purpose. You can't re

Because abstraction of pages is to expensive to maintain for larger datasets, and very confusing for data that is dynamically generated.

When you'll have 4 cores per cpu, there will be usecase fot it. Generally IO is catching up with cpu performance, so it makes sense to do this.

Precisely. I bought from them because I know that Linux will work - and it did flawlessly. I am not even using their distro, standard Ubuntu or Kubuntu has no issues, and I can't say the same about many other laptops.

No, the litmus test would be "can I reason about generated native code produced by this line of C". And you can't do that today. This leaves you two options: either switch to something where you can, going lower than C to be

Its a bad idea. You will ignore all the benefits of running native code: performance and access to low level features.You will not gain portability because every platform will have different APIs - those are not part of wasm project.
