So where exactly does the "10x productivity boost" come from in this case?
It's the same C and/or C++ code being compiled in both cases. It doesn't become any easier to write said code, just because it's compiled down to a mangled form of JavaScript rather than a native binary.

- pkroll 13y agoI'm not sure if this is what rtpg was referring to, but... In this case, the 10x productivity would come from suddenly being able to use C/C++/other code that can be compiled to asm.js, which was previously not useful for client-side web apps unless you rewrote it by hand into JavaScript.
