Wow, a lot of mixed reactions here. My comment is not meant to tear down the developer of hair, I am just pushing an agenda. I am pissed off as hell with current web standards. Why the hell are we 12 years later and still in the same place (overall) as far as technological innovation? 12 years... You should all be mad as hell that HTML5/CSS/JavaScript is not many strides better than flash was 10-12 years ago. You should all be mad as hell that there is no open standard for an API where anyone can create their own markup, their own language to run in all major browsers. Screw this compile to JS stuff. I really do admire those doing it, but this is a hack, a workaround.
I hear all this whining that flash was closed source and not an open standard, yet we are stuck in a proprietary mess of similar sorts and I don't hear complaints about that. We are relegated to all learn HTML5/CSS/JS. Doesn't that piss anyone else off? What if when writing applications for Windows, Mac and Linux, you could only choose one programming language, one markup language, and one layout/styling/positioning language? You would be pissed as hell. Well the browser is the OS of the web so why aren't you pissed off? Why is everyone so exited and happy for HTML5? It should be thrown back in the faces of the consortium and a loud demand for what I mentioned earlier should be put out.
THEN we would see some REAL INNOVATION. Let the people, the hackers/developers release their creative energy on the building blocks of the web. Give us the freedom to do it. Open standards that are so high level (such as a specific language following exact specifications) are causing stagnation of innovation.
