> if you think it was in the oven for a long time, why then have 2 years passed and it still isn't shipping in the browser, and the language grammar has undergone many changes? As an outside observer I'd say as a company with basically unlimited money resources for a decade that Google devs probably are slacking off quite a bit, not really driven in language design to get anything done. Asm.js is basically just a spec for what emscripten was already doing. There's not much too it beyond that other than the linking/module bit, so not much to even discuss with anybody else. Dash/Dart/Pepper is a major piece of technology that is not a subset of existing tech like asm.js is. It has a much higher expectation for collaboration.
