IMHO: Horrible idea, brilliant execution – Google’s “Portable Native Client (NaCl)” blog.chromium.org/2013/11/po…

@stilkov how would you make big c++ apps run in the browser? Let's say quake?

@dankurka That’s exactly what I meant. Why would I want to do that?

@stilkov So using SSH to work from my chromebook is a bad idea and I should not do this?

@dankurka You mean it can’t do that without NaCl? ;-)

@stilkov You should not reimplement software, if a compiler can do the job. SSH is a good example for that. I got plenty more.

@dankurka As usual, we don’t agree on the basics. Who came up with the idea of re-implementing ssh? Why would it have to run in the browser?

@stilkov If you look at Google, Mozilla, MS, they are all working on the web as a platform for what we now call apps. => Firefox OS....

@dankurka Vast differences between their approaches. My money is on Mozilla – only ones I believe to be in line with what works on the Web

@stilkov I think you need to read up on asm.js, not really inline, since this will be a different engine.

@dankurka You do have a point, and I’m not a big fan of asm.js either. I do consider it very slightly more “webby”, but I may be wrong

@stilkov What are the differences? I'm only really familiar with the Google approach
