No one is saying (a+b)|0 is pretty. If you care about syntax, you would probably use something like sweet.js to make a macro for it or something like that. asm.js is not concerned with pretty syntax. It just takes the existing type of code emscripten and mandreel have generated for a long time now, and writes a formal spec for it. That's useful to get code to run faster. That's it.
