"Problem: asm.js is basically unwritable by humans."
I have no idea where this is coming from, but it's simply untrue. See [1] for a ton of examples of it being perfectly human read/writable.
All I can come up with is that people are looking at code compiled to asm.js, which is of course going to have all semantic meaning stripped from it, no different than code compiled to javascript.

- dbattaglia 11y agoI wonder if people just say that now without actually looking. The last time I saw any asm.js code it looked like very boring old c++ code, nothing crazy. Probably more readable to a newcomer than closures or self calling anonymous function wrappers.
