Hi all, I'm new here, so please forgive me if I'm not posting this in the right place, or if the discussion has already occurred somewhere not amenable to my googlings.
Is there any thought to folding in awareness of asm.js-optimized code into v8? As a front-end dev with a penchant for good old C, I'm super-excited about asm.js, but 'einmal ist keinmal'; it won't count as the new hotness until it has more than one browser behind it. Enabling a powerful new technology like asm.js is definitely within the ambit of Chrome and V8. There will be a missed opportunity for the whole web unless there is cross-engine support for asm.js. The first sprint wouldn't necessarily need to do anything other than recognize the asm.js directive; implementing actual optimisation, so that asm.js code runs faster than other ECMAScript code, could be done iteratively and progressively over many months. I might start working on it myself if there's no interest from someone with less ramp-up time (I'm a newcomer to the V8 project.) ~Beth (and thanks for v8 <3) -- -- v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "v8-users" group.
