Emscripten will probably do more for that than NaCl ever will.
- dman 14y agoThe future is definitely going to be interesting - would be nice if the browser makers started shifting their own native codebases through Emscripten / asm.js / NaCL. Have a minimal bootstrap environment and then implement your entire stack in terms of primitives that you expect the rest of the world to use.
- BrendanEich 14y agoThat is farther in the future. Shorter term, we could NaCl (not PNaCl) parts of our native codebases, and Chrome VIPs have spoken of this to the press. But it has not happened yet, and some performance-critical pieces will probably remain unsafe. As noted elsewhere here, Mozilla with Servo is investigating zerovm-ish NaCl uses, _sans_ Pepper. Good stuff IMHO. /be
