I really wish that someone other than Google would take this up (whatever Google would need to do for that). C has of course been a great choice for performance-sensitive programs for years and it is quite a mature language with mature tools. It doesn't make sense for everyone to be forced to use JavaScript as the only option, forever, just because of convention.
- kevingadd 13y agoOnce it's actually possible to use PNaCL apps in webpages, I think it will see dramatically faster adoption. It's mostly a question at this point of whether they manage to ship it before someone else beats them to the punch (looks like Chrome 30 is projected for August). By then Mozilla could easily have picked up a lot of momentum with asm.js.
- TazeTSchnitzel 13y agoProblem is we'll only ever see PNaCl support in Chrome. The nature of NaCl and PNaCl is that they rely on single implementations by Google which are designed around Chrome's internals, and so they are unlikely to ever be adopted by other browser vendors, aside from perhaps Opera, since it will be Chromium-based.
