- whatshisface 14y agoThat's like saying you can't implement python in x86... if it can run code, it can run code.
- ahoge 14y agoYou were able to do the same without asm.js. Problem is, it's way too large and way too slow. People aren't doing these things because they simply aren't feasible. If you could compile Python directly into that asm.js subset of JavaScript, things would be okay. However, emulating a whole CPU and running some Python interpreter on top of that won't be okay. Even if you would magically reach 100% of the regular speed, it just would be way too fat.
