- _random_ 12y agoThey want everyone to think same way and use one single multi-purpose scripting language. JS as a bytecode is a less favourable outcome for them for some reason, maybe because everyone would stop caring about using JS directly. Hence the unfortunate lack of news on the asm.js side.
- kevingadd 12y agoIf by 'lack of news' you mean 'active development and more tools vendors introducing asm.js targets', sure. asm.js support keeps improving in all the major browsers, while Epic and Unity both have increasingly viable asm.js+WebGL backends. Furthermore, emscripten is moving towards being a mature LLVM backend instead of a separate compiler tool, and other compilers are adopting asm as well.
