"So why not pick the overextended mess we started with." What's the starting point? Javascript or assembly? NaCl gets closer to the original starting point (which predates javascript by more than 20 years)

Based on the verbiage, FundersClub is allowed to slide because "FundersClub and FC Management are advisers solely to venture capital funds", which has a very specific meaning that doesn't apply to crowdfunding. It's pretty clear that WeFund

Emscripten has existed for a long time and works incredibly well even without asm.js.

For me, the most impressive part of the asm.js demos isn't asm.js but rather emscripten.

"It's not a hard thing to fix." But then you get back into the game of asking browser vendors to make changes, which was one of the original selling points of asm.js (that browser vendors didn't have to make changes).

"(x|0 + y|0)|0 tells the engine that it's 32-bits all the way through" You conveniently skipped the complaint: "Even the modest 32-bit integer multiplication is tricky (you only have 52-53 bits of mantissa)"

32 bit integers can be represented exactly in a Number but not 64 bit integers. And the typed array system provides Int32Array and Uint32Array but no 64-bit Downvoters: which part of the statement is factually incorrect? Read the ES3 and

Numbers are IEEE754 floats and no currently accepted spec provides native 64 bit integers with arithmetic. Even the modest 32-bit integer multiplication is tricky (you only have 52-53 bits of mantissa). Mozilla proposed `Math.imul` extensi

Top youtube comment: "There's nothing about the Unreal Engine 3 on both emscripten and hacks.mozilla" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsyogXtyU9o ) Even though the major legwork is in emscripten, somehow the focus is on asm.js. Feels li

Can we at least link to the original article: http://www.businessinsider.com/a-dangerous-sign-for-vmware-p... I'm stunned by the extent to which the forbes.com rehashing of articles crest the front page compared to the original articles.
