I also want to add that the "it's just JS" thing is not somehow an argument of the shining nobility of asm.js. It's purely practical as what we believe is a viable approach to moving the web in the same direction that e.g. the PNaCl team has been trying to move it. I get so disheartened at these mud-flinging contests. Our companies want the same things for the web (and we <3 the PNaCl team and have friendly conversations with them!). We share the same goals. We just believe that asm.js is a more viable approach to getting the web there.
- lmm 13y agoI'm pleased to hear that - my perception has been that Mozilla has been moving in a more isolated, NiH-ish direction of late (not just dart but e.g. h264 support in <video&rt;). Does this mean there's a chance of PNaCl support being added to firefox if it shows itself to be effective in practice?
- pcwalton 13y agoDart and PNaCl have been rejected by not only Mozilla but also upstream WebKit (Apple) and Microsoft. In other words, Google is the only proponent of these technologies. I have no idea how you could paint that as "isolated" or "NIH".
