A coworker: "Yay! Google is re-imlementing ActiveX!"

  I hope it's a bit more stable than that!

    NaCl is very stable. Just don't get it wet.

  Your coworker doesn't really understand ActiveX; ActiveX controls execute unchecked native x86 code with full access to the system call table. NaCL falls somewhere in between VMWare and the Java Bytecode Verifier.

    I like your abbreviation for it, but that's not an official name, right? Are you just hoping it will catch on? I'll join you in calling it NaCl.

      NaCl is the chemical name for salt, right? :P

      They used it in the paper.
