Hey! The project is absolutely cool! What's in wasm? Pyiodide? Tell me more, please. Also, is this project open source? I like the idea of teaching people. I'd like to pick up my abandoned project again using Pyiodide instead of the complex AWS Lambda as a code execution backend.
For some reason Google decides that I prefer Russian even if I am forcing it to use English (assuming that `?hl=en` switches the interface language):

Keyboard layouts might be linked to specific countries, but language usage extends far beyond national borders. For example, Russian is spoken by communities in the US who may not identify with the Russian flag (or even stand against it), and French is widely used in places like Niger, where the French flag may hold little relevance. Thus, associating languages strictly with country flags can overlook the diverse and global nature of language communities.
Short term: people who are good at selling will start making millions until others catch up. I can already see how GPT-wrappers are earning damn cool money.
Can you imagine that we, Software Engineers in Kyrgyzstan, cannot publish apps on Google Play?! Google is blocking whole countries from publishing apps. This is not just about missing out on business opportunities; it's about being denied the basic platform to share our creativity and hard work with others! Unfair discrimination!
I am deeply frustrated by this situation. Even more so because I know there are Kyrgyz people working at Google, and one confided that the developers had made plans to include Kyrgyzstan in the list of allowed countries. However, these plans were inexplicably rolled back on orders from another department. This isn't just a technical hurdle; it feels like a deliberate sidelining of our nation and our talents.
I urge you to consider the struggles of smaller nations like ours. We don't ask for special treatment, just a fair chance to participate on the global stage.
I'm grateful for my kids, my wife, and that both our parents are alive. I am grateful to work on projects I enjoy and to have the means to pay for my kids' schooling and for yearly health screenings.
RE: "word is read exactly how you would sound out each letter (with a few exceptions)" nah, you write "короче", but you should say "кароче", write "остовайтесь" but read "аставайтесь" etc. otherwise you'll sound funny. Russian has a lot of exceptions.
`but by law in the US she is considered white -- and she looks white as well` -- as a non-American I have a hard time understanding why the law in the US should distinguish your race?
