I agree. If it works and isn’t going to be some big maintenance burden (which an implementation of some spec, protocol, format, etc is), it’s worth keeping for testing’s sake alone.
I worked at a crypto company once and someone there wrote a Haskell implementation of a Wasm interpreter [1]. We were gonna use v8 in prod, but having this let us not worry about the complexities of using v8. And it let us write a lot more interesting tests.
[1] Cribbed from the Ocaml one iirc. Claude would’ve been good at that. GitHub - dfinity-side-projects/winter: Haskell port of the WebAssembly OCaml reference interpreter · GitHub
