I'd like to 2nd this comment. I got my C library working in a web page in a few days, and even the coroutines seem to work perfectly with a few code changes for emscripten fibers. I'm excited about what's possible with this platform and would like to make emscripten the default target for development and testing of my C projects... if I can find a way to get the VSCode debugger to step through C statements and view C stack frames instead of WASM instructions and stack. |

Hopefully that is just a matter of time. There is an extension for Chrome that supports C source debugging: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/wasm-debugging-2020/ |

Just want to say how grateful I am for Emscripten and all the amazing work done by the contributors!
A few years ago, I started porting my Windows program to Android and iOS. I quickly found these environments to be restrictive and needlessly complicated for app development (Android API version issues, iOS certificate/provisioning issues, store restrictions). Shortly after I completed the Android version, the development tools provider I was using dropped support for Android leaving me no way to update the app. I started looking into alternatives and eventually settled on Emscripten. With Emscripten, VSCode, and a custom made build tool, I had a new development environment that was free and had the latest C++ support too.
It has taken 15 months to convert the program to a web app, but now I have something that runs on everything. Finally we have a write once run everywhere development environment that never could have been possible without Emscripten. Thanks again!
For anyone interested, you can find the app here.
