Now THAT's some worthy hacking!!!

At first I thought "really? that's nuts - that'll never work" but it works. I still think it's nuts but very much less so now. I mean, it IS nuts, but I could see how useful this could be.

So here's the thing Asm.js, that is - take C/C++, compile it into a subset of javascript and run the resulting javascript in your browser!!! Yeah. Happiness is never having to learn javascript!

Check out the emscripten page where they have a ported version of the Unreal Engine using webGL for 3D. I'm only getting about 16 or less fps on my machine but it's still frikken epic!

And like the web page say: "Run code in languages like Python as well, by compiling CPython from C to JavaScript and interpreting code in that on the web" - any interpreted language with an interpreter written in C is good to go.

A bunch of demos on that page - impressive job, mad coding freaks! Skillz

Niiiiice
But considering the getting-rid-of-javascript, I'm working with GWT (Google Web Toolkit) for a couple of years now so I don't need javascript for client-side code anyway. Plus server-side/client-side communication is rock-solid and done in a jiffy (unless you use Hibernate; then you need to put some extra drops of sweat)
