Comment Fingers crossed for asm.js to take off (Score 2) 156
I have big hopes for asm.js. Even with its teething problems, it's the best chance we have for a truly multi-platform common ground to develop networked apps in.
At the same time, this awesomeness has traditionally been ignored by the big players who desired fragmentation. Hopefully this time is different, as all browser vendors have a lot to lose if they are the last to implement asm.js.
The big missing feature is threading - here's hoping for an extension to asm.js to make it complete.
