For the interest of historical accuracy, I must point out that Adobe Alchemy predates Emscripten by years.
- kevingadd 13y agoAlchemy didn't compile to ActionScript, it compiled to the underlying VM bytecode and it relied on special bytecodes added to the runtime specifically for Alchemy. A more direct comparison in this case is NaCL - Alchemy-compiled outputs would not work on an old ActionScript VM, while one of asm.js's benefits is that the generated code will work on any javascript runtime, because it's just JS.
