@esm compiling ffmpeg into wasm is stupidest thing I've ever seen.

@a1ba
Better than compiling it to JavaScript, I think.

@empathicqubit @esm for something so performance sensitive... just compile it into native code. Besides they optimize for modern CPUs a lot.

@a1ba
There's probably a way to run native code in a browser but I forgot what it was called
@esm

@empathicqubit @esm yeah, but this is a Go code, I don't think it runs in browser.

@a1ba
There are at least a few frameworks based on Go that support compiling to webassembly iirc (I think they were game frameworks?)

@empathicqubit @esm sorry, I didn't made this clear from the beginning.

To my knowledge, the only project in Go that runs ffmpeg in WASM and that I was referring to is GoToSocial's backend. Which absolutely doesn't run in browser.

@a1ba
ffmpeg's API is honestly a nightmare and I would try to reference it as an executable before considering referencing it directly
@esm

@empathicqubit @esm I agree honestly. Still have to work with it's API if you want to render movies inside a game.
