Praise the lord, that was sooner than I expected. Next up: the DOM. Then there will be peace on Earth.
Does anyone know when all this started? I ask because only 83 days ago Brendan was on here telling us pretty emphatically that this was a bad idea and would never happen.
- BrendanEich 11y agoPlease cite my post from 83 days ago. I think you're misreading it (perhaps "bytecode" is overloaded). I have good reason to, since I was in on wasm from the start, which was longer ago than 83 days.
- lorddoig 11y agoI didn't intend to ruffle anyone's feathers with that comment. Yes I suppose I am misreading it, but I don't think I can be blamed for walking away from that exchange thinking transpilation to JS was the last word on the subject. Anyway great work man. It's a happy day.
- BrendanEich 11y agoThanks. Here's Tim Sweeney on diff between "bytecode" and wasm: https://twitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/611237145857138688 https://twitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/611237145857138688
- elwell 11y agoHi Brendan, just hopping on the end of this thread to tell you that I think it was just disgusting the way that you were boycotted for your donation. It seemed really hypocritical for them to mistreat you for your opinions.
- bryanlarsen 11y agoMaybe we won in the end. If Brendan was spending all his time doing CEO type stuff, he'd be spending less time giving us awesomeness like this.
- BrendanEich 11y agoThis was a group effort and I am last, not first. Mainly I played prophet, peace-maker, coach, bartender. Not quite the Tetralogy of Tony Stark (genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist) but I'll take it! ;-)
