JavaScript is weird and stupid to begin with. Until it becomes the most widely used, fastest dynamically typed language.

  Won't ever be "fastest" in embedded, no way you can run your v8 on such devices.

If Web Assembly[1] pans out as planned, I can foresee embedded devices that can execute wasm code natively (or at least fast) 1. https://brendaneich.com/2015/06/from-asm-js-to-webassembly/ https://brendaneich.com/2015/06/from-asm-js-to-webassembly/

      Web assembly, as well as asm.js, is never meant to be manually written. It's a target for compilers. And even the most efficient ever implementation of web assembly won't make your plain old javascript any faster.
