The important point here is that what the web needs is a set of browsers/engines competing *at the leading edge*. Multi-year delays in delivering features to 90+% of users are all-too common, and the problem isn't update rates any more.https://twitter.com/jyasskin/status/1207739254480048128 …

Different browsers, different priorities I’d say. Why is Chrome lagging behind in privacy so much? When will it finally catch up and be less user hostile? You can twist and turn this however you want, different people value different things in the web platform.

Chrome also never bothered with an AOT asm.js engine, for example. I thought Chrome adopted AOT asm.js optimizations as a stopgap for larger changes! Shame, I guess Chrome isn't a leading edge browser :-/

Turbofan development was in-progress at the time SM added a specific ASM.js tier; architectural choice to hold out for generic solution. Did it pay off? I think so: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2599#c77 …
