Re: Web versions

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   I am confused regarding the issues raised here against "porting" a GNU 
package
   to WebAssembly and would very much welcome clarification.

The issue isn't porting the software, the issue what the user must
depend on to be able to run the program -- which is a remote server
when it comes to Javascript and Webassembly (in the normal/intended
case).  The other issue is that the remote party effectivley controls
_what_ you run, which is not the case with software you run from your
own computer.
