The things that lead to the most innovation are the things that don't seem sensible to do at first. For example, if you mean raytracing in the sense of computer graphics, improving its performance would lead to a possible greater presence of 3d applications on the web.
- natmaster 16y agoDoing raytracing in javascript is a bad idea. Period. There are many ways to do 3d on the web with greater flexibility and WAY more performance. WebGL is one, CUDA support in javascript is another: http://mozillalabs.com/jetpack/2010/01/25/elevating-javascript-performance-through-gpu-power/ http://mozillalabs.com/jetpack/2010/01/25/elevating-javascri.... There is no reason to do that type of computation in the interpretation layer of javascript. (This is akin to saying you would prefer a pure python implementation of disk io, as opposed to the built in method which is implemented in C.)
