Good points, especially the first one. (Or did I, from my Throne of Skulls, send my T-1000 back in time to stop NaCl from being used by Apple on the first iPhone? Mwa-hah-hah!) On Skatepark's planet it seems (a) Android (definitely a mobile platform, now the biggest one by users) has native-speed Dalvik apps; and (b) most developers write those in preference to hybrid or web-only apps. Not so on Earth. Regarding (a), SpiderMonkey (and I'm pretty sure V8) beat Dalvik on same hardware on standard benchmarks. On (b), when last I checked over 70% of Google Play apps used embedded WebViews. Only by reading "mobile" as "iOS" do the commenter from another planet's performance assertions even half-way hold up. The historical cause/effect claims just don't make sense (unless I do have backward time travel). /be
