They really want the performance of asm.js code to be predictable, and as a compiler writer, I believe this is entirely possible. The subset of JS they use is made to have good performance. The people here don't seem to like some of the imp

Yes, you could comple JS to asm.js, but then, unless you change the JS semantics, you'll have to implement a GC, and your GC might have pauses. Note that an interesting possibility would be to be able to generate asm.js at run-time for a do

Sitting about 10 feet away from Luke Wagner right now. He has told me that asm.js is Mozilla's response to NaCl. You compile code with Clang (or another compiler) into the asm.js subset of JavaScript, which they know how to optimize well, a

I think that when everyone is pointing to a technology as "the future", that's a sign it might not be, at least not the way they imagine it. If 3D printing is so great, where are the huge revolutionary changes? 3D printers have been around
