I expect it's much the same use case as for asm.js and WebAssembly — just a different solution to the same problem. The intention is probably for it to become an easier way to port software to the web, although it seems like a lot more work will have to be put into it for it to be remotely viable for many programs.
- ape4 10y agoSpeaking asm.js and WebAssembly... they would be good tools to implement a Unix environment.
- nteon 10y agoWe already work with asm.js, and I've gotten some WebAssembly prototypes running under Browsix as well. Browsix is nicely orthogonal to those projects -- WebAssembly lets you compile existing C/C++/Rust code to run in the browser with almost no overhead, and Browsix gives you the environment your program expects (pipes, sockets, a filesystem, subprocesses).
