- blep_ 4y agoI am thoroughly confused, because I did read your comments, apparently somehow differently than you read them. You wrote: > Had that been the case and probably we would never had the phase of JIT everywhere, followed by doing websites in scripting languages, to come full circle back to AOT compilation and first tier support for systems programing. And then: > Regarding ActiveX [the previous AOT compiled web thing], ever heard of this thing called WebAssembly? You seem to be saying that WebAssembly is an AOT compilation thing that we're coming full circle to, and we're telling you it's not.
- pjmlp 4y agoI was replying to the dude that mentioned ActiveX and Web development, even though my ORIGINAL comment made no reference to it, hence why I started my reply with "That isn't what I was talking about.", clear enough?
