So if fonts can contain embedded web assembly, how long until someone makes a font that runs doom?
I knew that making everything Turing-complete was going to end in tears.
Well played, friend. Well played.
@angelastella @foone If fonts are Turing-complete, this makes digital copies of computational demonology texts significantly more dangerous @cstross
@angelastella technically everything I do is turing complete, since I'm Turing
@foone this popped up right above your post https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/112666853509105383
@foone I recall someone programmed a Pokemon-like game as a TrueType font, but I've lost the link...
@foone This font runs Pokemon: https://www.coderelay.io/fontemon.html
