If I recall, I read somewhere that it would take a lot of work to get Firefox to where it would need to be to support NaCL. The whole point of making asm.js is that it is easy to implement AND produces tremendous results. Oh, just found what I was referring to. This is from the asm.js FAQ http://asmjs.org/faq.html http://asmjs.org/faq.html > Q. Why not NaCl or PNaCl instead? Are you just being stubborn about JavaScript? > A. The principal benefit of asm.js over whole new technologies like NaCl and PNaCl is that it works today: existing JavaScript engines already optimize this style of code quite well. This means that developers can ship asm.js today and it'll simply get faster over time. Another important benefit is that it's far simpler to implement, requiring very little additional machinery on top of existing JavaScript engines and no API compatibility layer. Also for reference, this is the documentation on implementing native client http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient
