Is anyone willing to sacrifice their sanity for the sake of implementing a QR renderer as TTF hinting code?

Harfbuzz now has WASM interpreter for a shaper. You can make pretty much arbitrary programs in fonts now.

I love seeing nonsense like that. How that work graphically though? Just keep adding to a same QR code that keeps getting denser as more text is added? I guess it doesn't have to practical though :)

  The downvotes aren't saying the comment is wrong (though it might be), they are saying “if it is that easy, you ask Claude”. The parent comment seemed to be specifically asking if a person would work on it, not specifying what tools might be used in that work.
