- nnq 14y agoHmm... I just can't imagine either Ms or Apple being friendly towards NaCl as it would basically be a way of drilling more wholes into their boats (like competing with Silverlght or the broader "issue" that webifying desktop and mobile apps would risk making iOS or Windows irrelevant and welcome in even more low-cost Android and Linux solutions... every Desktop/iOS app to browser app transition basically makes these guys loose money one way or another...)
- bzbarsky 14y agoAs long as you're willing to tie your compiled code to particular hardware, sure. The benefit of compiling to JS is that it will Just Work for users as long as they have a web browser, without you having to put up "Oh, get a different hardware device" message.
