Taking a comment from someone on this thread, named xal: asm.js is the hack of the year. Because it makes simple, to get good performance. Probably the biggest roadblock in software development, is the cost of complexity. Many great projects fail to be realized, because of the development costs. And development costs rise exponentially with complexity. Software development needs to become simpler. The success of simple and agile programming languages, like javascript proves that. Want to learn it ? just open just browser and type some code. This is one huge step in the right direction. It makes very easy to get good performance, on the most ubiquitous platform, the web. It makes many things possible, at lower costs. And this is the same big reason why, a platform like firefoxOS has the potential to be awesome. Because it makes things simpler. Now I wish that the same thing done here to javascript, were also done to html, CSS, the dom, etc. The web needs simpler bases. And modularity on top of it.
