Re: Another week...
Heh, very true.
The rest of the tech is pretty much dead on arrival. However Emscripten (C++ to ASM.js/WASM transpiler) is a very cool piece of technology. It works best without any of Microsoft's additional mess.
I have made an initial port to OpenBSD and it really is just a Clang compiler with a bunch of scripting. However the functionality is fantastic.
Actually, since Emscripten is under heavy development, you are better off getting it from the upstream vendors rather than Microsoft's obsolete Visual Studio.
