docs: clarify Yoga is C++, Rust was the Pilates port path#143
Merged
Conversation
The "Rust + WASM port" framing was ambiguous — readers could infer Yoga is Rust, which is wrong (Yoga is C++ → WASM since ~2014). Updated all 5 mentions across the announcement doc and launch copy to: - Acknowledge Yoga itself is C++ - Clarify Rust was the modern port path *for Pilates* (better JS-migration tooling than C++ in 2026) - Frame the lesson as "pure TS vs native-compiled-to-WASM", language-agnostic The argument unchanged: algorithmic fix in TS beats a hypothetical native-compiled rewrite because Yoga's edge was algorithmic, not arithmetic-speed. The clarification just makes sure no commenter can derail the post with "but Yoga is C++". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per author preference: the post compares pure TS against Yoga's C++ (the actual benchmark) — bringing Rust in as "the port we considered for Pilates" was a distraction that invited the "but Yoga is C++" objection while not adding value. Generalized all five mentions to "native-compiled-to-WASM" / "native code" framing. The argument unchanged: algorithmic fix in TS beats a hypothetical native-compiled rewrite because Yoga's edge was algorithmic, not arithmetic-speed. Section header in r/programming body is now "Why pure TS over C++" — direct apples-to-apples with Yoga, matches the question readers actually ask. (Ratatui mention in STRATEGY.md retained — that's naming a Rust TUI library as comparison point, not the port-path framing.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Previously the V2EX and 掘金 copy only existed in chat ephemera; committing them to the canonical launch-copy file so the campaign assets are version-controlled. Both versions use the cleaned C++/native framing (no Rust detour) consistent with PR #143's revisions: - V2EX 分享创造 post (short, casual register) - 掘金 long-form article (with section headers, code blocks, validation-infra-paid-off story, API stability call-out) - Other Chinese venues mentioned briefly: 知乎, 少数派 - Suggested ordering: 掘金 first as "authoritative long read", V2EX/知乎 link back to it Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Caught during a pre-Reddit-post review: the "Rust + WASM port" framing was ambiguous and could be read as "Yoga is Rust" (which is wrong — Yoga has been C++ → WASM since 2014).
Updated all 5 mentions across the announcement doc and the launch copy. The argument is unchanged — algorithmic fix in TS beats a hypothetical native-compiled rewrite — but the language is now unambiguous: Yoga is C++; Rust would have been the migration target for Pilates, since Rust has better JS-migration tooling than C++ in 2026.
Removes a reasonable comment-thread objection ("but Yoga is C++") before it can land.
