  kbr is one of our WebGL engineers and while he does interact with the V8 folks often, he's not the decider when it comes to what goes into V8. Your suggestion is certainly a more accurate summary. (I'm on the Chrome Developer Relations team)

    Updated.

    At least it's on the radar, but man, if Chrome picks asm.js up, it's a game-changer in so many ways.

    I would like to note that I don't work on V8 full time anymore and all opinions that I express on twitter are mine alone and not those of employer, my current or former team. I am writing a blog post that condenses my feeling towards asm.js into something tangible. I also would like to add that it still excites me much to see JavaScript to become faster and faster and that I anticipate real world JavaScript written by human hands to become faster in the future and I don't think we need AOT compilation shortcuts for that.

      Written by human hand using something like TypedArrays?
      • mraleph 14y ago
        Not only typed arrays. Arbitrary reasonable JavaScript code. I would like to see sweet spot grow, not shrink.
