Cross-compiling doesn't work because you're not defining your dependencies correctly and relying on the existence of things like system libraries and libc. Use `zig cc` with Go which will let you compile against a stub Glibc, or go all the way and use a hermetic build system (you should do this always anyhow).

For the GC it sounds like they don’t have generations which means copying long-lived objects needlessly due to the generational hypothesis. Interesting idea with the mailbox allocator, but how do these two allocators interact? Is the heap non-regional, or are they allocating into separate regions?

Ironically, this time around the issue was in the proxy they're going to phase out (and replace with the Rust one).
I truly believe they're really going to make resilience their #1 priority now, and acknowledging the release process errors that they didn't acknowledge for a while (according to other HN comments) is the first step towards this.
HugOps. Although bad for reputation, I think these incidents will help them shape (and prioritize!) resilience efforts more than ever.
At the same time, I can't think of a company more transparent than CloudFlare when it comes to these kind of things. I also understand the urgency behind this change: CloudFlare acted (too) fast to mitigate the React vulnerability and this is the result.
Say what you want, but I'd prefer to trust CloudFlare who admits and act upon their fuckups, rather than trying to cover them up or downplaying them like some other major cloud providers.
@eastdakota: ignore the negative comments here, transparency is a very good strategy and this article shows a good plan to avoid further problems
I would very much like for him not to ignore the negativity, given that, you know, they are breaking the entire fucking Internet every time something like this happens.

I wish JavaScript stopped being an abandoned trademark.

I dont like the "impure" label. But the guts of it is right. Most software solves a business problem. Even the "pure" ones could choose to deliver value sooner with tech debt.
Maybe "practical" engineering is a better label?

I'm afraid that website was hacked. It only redirects me to fraudulent raffles and casino stuff such as https://cdn.aucey.com/sweeps-survey/1034/es.html
Check your browser/OS, works fine here.
