Doing insanely complex, power-chugging, and heat-belching vector math just to do arithmetic wrong is the bloody flipping final boss fight of building an entire computing ecosystem based on shite languages like JS and things like Electron.
Re-write it in Rust? No. Eff off. Re-write it in 6502 assembly. On a piece of paper. Now get off my lawn. 😂

@rl_dane@polymaths.social @oxy@social.bsdlab.au @requiem@masto.hackers.town @foolishowl@social.coop I wrote assembly for 6502, but I also did for 6809E and then used that to generate the opcodes of the machine language bytes(!). And then went on to a career that used a lot of 32-bit assembly language of various architectures. Getting it right the old fashioned way!
