Is it really ? I was under the impression that a large influence and a precursor to wasm was NaCL from Chrome along with ASM.js from Mozilla. Also Microsoft seems to be very involved in WASM.
- dao- 8y agoNaCL is more like Google's ActiveX. wasm directly builds upon the experience and success Mozilla had with asm.js.
- dbt00 8y agoIf they're not all involved, it won't work, but firefox really lead asm.js, which was the actual precursor to webassembly. NaCL was more like a competitor that tried to do something similar but never got the kind of mainstream adoption needed for cross-browser support.
