As someone who is more in the second camp than the first (JS is something of a joke disguised as a language), actually, I see asm.js as a great way to eventually kill off Javascript. Whereas I see trying to specify -- and get all browsers to implement -- a whole new VM, as quixotic.
- BrendanEich 14y agoYou see clearly! Although JS, warts and all, is no joke at this stage. It will die hard, but my hope is that JS VMs become multi-lingual in as good a way, or better, than the JVM and the CLR. Certainly better in terms of diversity of implementation, reach of the Web, and consequent interop testing in the large. /be
