“@landonfuller: The man-years spent making JS go faster could have been better spent on making JS go away.”

@landonfuller @rauschma @alpengeist_de why would an asm.js impl require a full JS runtime. Implementing just the asm subset AOT is fine.

@wycats@rauschma@alpengeist_de If that were true, then asm.js wouldn't be JS, as codegen could not assume JS. -
@landonfuller@rauschma@alpengeist_de you're arguing a different point. Your claim that an asm.js impl requires a full JS is wrong. -
@landonfuller@rauschma@alpengeist_de that's like saying C has a dependency on POSIX. -
@wycats If asm.js didn't require JS, it'd just be one inefficient encoding of a general bytecode/VMM model. -
@landonfuller not all that inefficient after gzip. -
@wycats We live in very different worlds when it comes to what defines "efficient" and "primitives". -
@landonfuller benchmarks please.
