This is really cool. I'd love to see a system whereby pure computation modules were also supported in the browser via web assembly.

- pcwalton 11y agoMe too! :) The possibilities of rustc (which has an LLVM backend) and Emscripten (which consumes LLVM IR) are really interesting.
- dherman 11y agoAgreed! In fact it would also be useful in Node: you could build an almost-full-performance but portable version of a native module as a fallback for clients who don't have the requisite software to build a Neon library (say, one they only indirectly depend on) on their machine.
