- Animus7 15y agoI don't even think the worst part is the download (which can be cached). The worst part is the fact that you're running your script, interpreted by a weirdly generated unoptimized script, interpreted by a scripting engine which only then runs on metal. I'm shooting in the dark, but I'd bet the performance and memory usage would be a disaster for anything but Hello, world.
- wahnfrieden 15y agoThere's also going to be an enormous startup time as it has to parse and compile all that code, even if it's already cached.
- spullara 15y agoActually, right now, even Hello world is a disaster. My guess is that this will drive some interesting improvements to emscripten and LLVM so there may be some benefits down the line.
- jterrace 15y ago65MB is our current unoptimized, uncompressed version. I expect the final version to be around 5-10MB. Still large, but not quite as bad.
- jakejake 15y agoi can see some possible for this where you could add support to your application for plugin development or even macro-type scripting within a sandbox.
