Yeah, but assembly generally isn't portable (x86 assembly is different than ARM assembly, etc.), that's what makes it biggest pain IIRC. Asm.js on the other ha

Yeah, but assembly generally isn't portable (x86 assembly is different than ARM assembly, etc.), that's what makes it biggest pain IIRC. Asm.js on the other hand, is portable and just that makes it way better than any regular assembly. Also it seems better looking than regular assembly (no registers as such, no jumps, etc.). It's a huge step back compared to plain JS, but it's not that impossible to write in.
