I used Java on web and PNaCL quite heavily, but I also love WASM. Mainly WASM is open, those others not so much. But I don't understand, you make the Java joke

I used Java on web and PNaCL quite heavily, but I also love WASM. Mainly WASM is open, those others not so much.
But I don't understand, you make the Java joke because previous attempts aren't recognized enough?
There's plenty of blog posts about transitioning from them, Chromium (the only ones who implemented PNaCL) did one, as did others.
- pjmlp 5y agoNot only Java, there are a pool of similar ignored technology all the way back to late 1950's. There are plenty of WebAssembly articles selling it as being the first kind of bytecode to support C like languages.
- hunterb123 5y agoMany articles for many topics are ignorant or plain wrong. That doesn't detract from the technology itself, which is great.
- pjmlp 5y agoGreat at reinventing the wheel.
- hunterb123 5y agoThe other wheels weren't round enough.
