Fable 7 isn't a thing, 5 is the one people are currently excited about. They're talking about a hypothetical more-advanced future version.

The way you worded this has me imagining the counterfactual world where lots of people traded Bill Gates a linker for a compiler. Compilers cost real money back then. Word got out that this was how you got a free compiler. You just wrote a

I used it and liked it when it was Credit Karma, but I am not doing extensive data entry in a phone app. Do they have a web interface now?

The JVM did that many years ago and nobody liked it. I can't help but think wasm is just the same idea but worse.

Trivially yes: how many sides does one atom have?

It's absolutely a spectrum, just like the individual conditions that make it up are spectra. (Everything is spectra. Is my friend who has arthritis in his otherwise working legs "physically disabled"? It depends on whether he

... Steam isn't the thing that doesn't support MacOS. I don't know why you're mentioning Steam. But yes, console and OS exclusives are a plague and people should stop making them.
