C++ is getting safer, but it has a long way to go to match Rust's safety guarantees. Google is doing a lot with spatial safety with hardened libc++, bounds checks for C-style arrays, and safe buffers; but temporal safety is a lot hard

Gemini protocol: https://geminiprotocol.net/ . Harder to search up these days due to Google using the brand too.

Well, for Java it's actually a separate compiler that targets Wasm and integrates with WasmGC: https://github.com/google/j2cl The Google Sheets team used it for their calc engine: https://v8.dev/b

Externally vented hoods are now required in my town in Massachusetts. But I have lived in several places like you describe and it’s sub par.

Note that the high level language needs a sufficient abstraction in its own runtime to allow substituting the Wasm GC for the runtime’s own GC. Work has been done for Java and Kotlin, but Python, C#, Ruby, Go can’t yet use the Wasm GC.

You can write Wasm bindings to the native UI toolkit of your choice and render with that. It doesn’t have to be in the DOM.

Not sure what this has to do with the article. Oil isn't "free" anyway, it takes energy to make energy, and EROEI has been going down for some time as the easy oil is extracted.

I am thinking of trying one of the vertically folding phones with a keyboard case. It reminds me of a BlackBerry. The keyboard means the small square outer screen is a lot more usable by itself.

"driving assist platform is now deprecated and no longer receiving area expansions" What driving assist platform? I don't think the older Chevy Bolts have any such thing. At least I'm pretty sure my 2017 doesn't.
