Yes, threading is definitely the main challenge for asm.js. I'm not as pessimistic as you about it, though. :)

- justinschuh 13y agoTo be clear, I really do think those of you working on asm.js have the best of intentions and really want to make something that works for the Web. However, I expect that supporting existing codebases and commonly used APIs is going to mean compromises. They'll start small and polyfills will work well enough, but I just don't see how asm.js doesn't eventually diverge in significant ways from normal JavaScript, or end up introducing special purpose hacks. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see my position as unrealistic.
