The question isn't if it would work or not; the question is rather: would /anyone/ aware about crypto sensitivity think that it's a good idea to mindlessly let a converter be responsible for mishaps rather than humans? It wouldn't be pretty code, that's for sure. Also the problem it would solve is already solved -- we already have asymmetric cryptography in the browser, after all.

As for anything invalidating OpenPGP.js: that will inevitebly <http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/WebCryptoAPI/> happen <https://github.com/polycrypt/polycrypt> either way. All hail evolution! :-)

I came across https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki somewhat recently. It compiles LLVM code into JS. I would be curious how well it would work to compile gpg into JS?

I don't think it would invalidate what we do here, because I think OpenPGP.js has done a lot already and provides a good framework for continued development.

But I think it might be able to provide some level of insight. I'm hoping to make some progress on Mymail-crypt for Gmail and OpenPGP.js soon, but if someone wanted to give this a shot that would be pretty awesome.
