I'm considering using WebP more: for example, my websites would load faster and browsers have supported it since 2020: https://caniuse.com/webp That said, GitHub just added support in August 2025, so I suspect I'd still find use cases that don't work yet:

I would have thought that invoking a C compiler would be a solved problem. Looking at Rust's cc crate there's a remarkable long tail of corner cases to fix. Exotic CPUs, microarchitectures, compiler differences, operating system differences, etc.

I'm having fun writing a simple type checker, but I'm learning firsthand why syntax-directed checking doesn't work. It prevents inference. My checker catches real bugs, but it can't handle cases like this: [1, 2].map(fun(x) { x + 1; }) I think I need bidirectional checking.
