NaCl (in particular PNaCl) is merely a different approach. I would call asm.js crazy, but that's just me.
Something similar could be said about Dart, but there the language itself is not so interesting (merely not insane). The VM is potentially the language-independent bytecode and stdlib in a browser we've all been waiting for.
While Google have been behavin evil-ly lately, in particular related to Google+, NaCl and Dart are not examples of this.
- pcwalton 14y agoWhy is asm.js crazy?
- hosay123 14y agoNacl is not merely a different approach, it's a wholly backwards incompatible approach based on techniques that tried and failed in the 80s (try searching for ANDF).
- mkr-hn 14y agoA lot of things were tried in the past, but they fail for a variety of reasons. Some are picked up later and work because the fatal problems were addressed. I couldn't find much on ANDF. Can you be more specific about why it failed?
