Wow, this just straight rips off my (not very great) simple example I've been maintaining for a while:

Thanks for the credit yurivish! :(



Hi Charles, this is my fault for missing the attribution – I'm very sorry.

I've just added a credit to you and your repository (see the second sentence).

I had put together this minimal example based on your repository together with a StackOverflow answer containing the build command (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68476647/errors-with-com...).

Being just a single file with a simple build command it seemed like a minimal advancement on the state of the art, so I quickly decided to publish, and did not appropriately credit the original as I should have. I hope you can accept my apology – this was an honest mistake.


No problem Yuri, thanks for the credit and the apology! I do recommend writing articles based on doing the thing from scratch yourself though as you can write something more nuanced and interesting that way.


First reaction: chill, it’s a super basic example…

Looking closer to it: boy he didn’t even care to change the log message.

Thanks for the example meheleventyone!


This is actually the second time this really basic example has been ripped off by someone else for internet clout.

It used to be a bit more complex and fiddly which is why I made the repo initially to gather some disparate info and my own contribution into one place. Now this is something you can put together with zero experience with Zig in a spare half an hour. Which really is as it should be with first-class support for WASM. I mostly maintain this because it's nice to have.


That sucks. I'm happy to flag this article, as it's rather light on content and stealing the little content it has is not cool. Recommend others do the same.
