Currently, we don't have access to the original source code written by users when generating WGSL, we only have tinyest, so when we print hints about what the dev could do to fix a bug, we emit them in WGSL and hope it's similar enough to the source:
There are cases though where it falls apart:
The original source where this happens is the following on line 151:
Ideally we would show:
- fn:preInitParticle: 'particles.$[i] = particle;' is invalid, because references cannot be assigned.
----
Try 'particles.$[i] = ParticleData(particle);' to copy the value instead.

Possible solution
Just as we transform JS into tinyest, we can transform tinyest back into JS 🚀. We can make sure that outside of Dev mode, it's treeshakeable, and we don't provide hints in production.
