> backward compatibility

IMO NaCl is much more backwards compatible, letting you recompile old code-bases for the web with minimal changes. The javascript approach (even with the speed gains of asm.js) does not have threads/native instructions/etc.

I want chrome to support asm.js, and firefox to support NaCl. Winning all around.

Perhaps a neutral discussion page is needed... I'll see about making one.



You don't have native instructions in PNaCl, which is what this is about.
