Funny to see this post together with LLVM 3.1 announcement on the same page as both are used as backends for programming languages these days. Now question, is this world gone mad? While I can justify existence of CoffeScript(it is only a nicer Javascript, with similar or improved semantics), the whole hype about the "assembly of the web" is ridiculous. Shame that with all the advances of the technologies today we have to compile to Javascript. Update. Nice picture to illustrate what compiling to JS feels like http://im4-tub-ua.yandex.net/i?id=140745948-54-72&n=17 http://im4-tub-ua.yandex.net/i?id=140745948-54-72&n=17
