This is the kind of technological challenge which must be fun to complete. And it must be quite satisfying for the author.
However, whenever I see a 'XYZ in pure javascript', I keep getting the impression we are only delaying the inevitable moment browsers have to step to a superior language. Kinda like instead of quickly ripping off a bandaid is better than slooowwwwllly removing it ....
- evan_ 12y agoSeeing cool things written in JavaScript makes you think that JavaScript is doomed?
- dubcanada 12y agoNot to be that guy, but it wasn't written in JS it was transpiled from C to JS.
- zzmp 12y agoTrue. Transpiled, with a few abstractions written over the transpiled code (such as a worker script), and some tweaks to the transpiled code to fake multithreading so that it can coexist with the Web Audio API.
- kelvin0 12y agoMy point exactly. The end result being we are solidly entrenching Javascript into browsers, not the contrary. So instead of starting with a proper hammer for nails, we are slowly turning a screw driver into a blunt object which can neither screw nor hammer nails properly.
