SIMD is coming to standard JS, and quickly in prototype form in SpiderMonkey. The idea that we need Dart (a whole new language and VM) or PNaCL + Pepper to get SIMD in JS is silly. Just add SIMD to JS, less work!
Some of what you rightly want is thus pure JS extension, not "asm.js". Other things (sbrk/mmap) are asm.js. Both can make progress, and cross-browser. Pepper cannot. That demerit trumps any SIMD-in-NaCl merit.
