Known Issues & Limitations

⚠️ Current Limitations

  1. WASM Module Size: ~100KB (acceptable for most use cases)
  2. Async Operations: WASM/parallel operations return Promises
  3. SharedArrayBuffer: Requires HTTPS and specific headers for browser
  4. Browser Support: WASM requires modern browsers (2017+)
  5. Conversion Progress: Only 9% of files converted to TypeScript

🔧 Planned Fixes

  • Complete TypeScript conversion (Phases 2-10)
  • Add more WASM modules (sparse algorithms, plain implementations)
  • Optimize WASM module size
  • Add progressive loading for WASM modules
  • Implement GPU acceleration (WebGPU)

Roadmap

📅 Phase 2: High-Performance Functions (6-8 weeks)

Planned:

  • Convert 170 function files to TypeScript
  • Implement WASM modules for arithmetic operations
  • Implement WASM modules for sparse matrix algorithms
  • Add parallel implementations for matrix operations
  • Performance benchmarks and optimization

Batches:

  1. Remaining Arithmetic (33 files, 2 weeks)
  2. Remaining Trigonometry (19 files, 1 week)
  3. Sparse Algorithms (24 files, 3 weeks) - Critical for WASM
  4. Matrix Operations (32 files, 2 weeks)
  5. Statistics (8 files, 1 week)
  6. Probability & Combinatorics (18 files, 1 week)

📅 Phase 3: Type System (2-3 weeks)

Planned:

  • Convert Complex, Fraction, BigNumber, Unit types
  • Convert matrix base classes and utilities
  • Convert matrix algorithm suite (14 files)
  • Convert primitive types

📅 Phases 4-10 (15-20 weeks)

See REFACTORING_PLAN.md for complete roadmap.
