Will Duetto compile to plain JavaScript, or to asm.js? It seems like emscripten + asm.js is already on par with other VM-based languages. (Native Client is faster, but it's not a VM, and it makes compromises for this speed, e.g. it allows modules to segfault and kill the process they're running in to avoid bounds checks.) An approach that compiles to plain JavaScript is unlikely to be faster.
The Duetto folks mention asm.js in passing on the news page, but don't specifically state that it is their compilation target.
- fzzzy 14y agoSince they specifically mention compiling to normal js objects and not using the typedarray heap approach that is used by emscripten and asm.js, likely not asm.js.
