I don't think Google cares about it as a web standard. They just want to deploy it widely through chrome, ChromeOS, and chrome on Android (eventually), and use it as a Trojan horse for their own binary applications and OS components.
- ryanackley 12y agoI don't follow the trojan horse logic since they already have the unfettered ability to ship any binary component they want to the platforms you list without using Native Client.
- gress 12y agoThe Trojan horse logic is about being able to ship binary apps to those platforms within chrome without having to build everything in.
- tootie 12y agoI'm guessing Apple will cockblock them from ever deploying this to iOS. In that regard, asm.js is far more likely to see adoption.
- gress 12y agoYou're right that Apple won't allow that on iOS, but I don't think they care. This is about them establishing a new platform to displace Android and the open web.
