Should we switch to the fpc-devel mailing list on that issue ?
I think an important issue is whether asm.js can be translated to
something which can either be executed from a shell, or whether
there's a runtime environment (e.g. a Firefox extension) that provides
its own shell plus standard utilities including make etc.
If asm.js can only be translated to something that will run as a GUI
applet in the context of Firefox, it's going to be very difficult to
run the FPC test programs that (in principle at least) demonstrate the
compiler's correctness.
It's just a subset of JavaScript. In the browser you normally have a
HTML page that references it, but the examples of emscripten (which can
also generate asm.js compatible code) show how you can execute it on the
command line as well.
