Not a problem -- if NaCl exceeds V8 in development, we just compile Javascript directly to NaCl (using tools that will certainly be devised).

- nitrogen 15y agoHow would precompiled JavaScript help? NaCl provides a subset of the processor's capabilities. V8 has access to everything, and is already compiling Javascript to native code. The only way you could exceed V8's performance is by writing a better JavaScript compiler than V8 -- no small task. Anything you can do with JavaScript-[as-yet-unwritten compiler]-NaCl, Google can do with JavaScript-V8-native code.
