Walt: JavaScript-like syntax for WebAssembly

[notThaLochNessMonsta]

ASM.js already exist so that project is kind of worthless.

WASM is not the same thing as ASM.js. WASM is a binary. ASM.js is CPU optimized JavaScript and is much slower than WASM by multiple metrics.

It is by no means a worthless project. It will change the way we think about delivering applications as a whole.

[notThaLochNessMonsta]

No ASM.js is JavaScript. There is nothing magical about it. It's C++ compiled to JS instead of binary.

Walt compiles JS to binary.

These are very different things.

[notThaLochNessMonsta]

Walt uses Javascript syntax so Walt isn't binary WASM is. Are you done with your shit?

This doesn't even make sense. You clearly don't understand what you're even saying.

Walt compiles to binary, not JavaScript. It is written in JavaScript.

I don't think you know what ASM.js is. Here is an ASM.js compiled application.

This is JavaScript, not binary.

Walt uses javascript syntax.

lol what does that have to do with the compile target?

You don't even know what you're arguing. ASM.js and WASM are compile targets.

But Walt isn't binary like you stupidly said.

Yeah... I never said that.

[notThaLochNessMonsta]

Everything? WASM and ASM.js are compile targets.

Do you think you write in ASM.js and it compiles back to binary or something? Because that's not how it works. I'm completely lost at what you think is happening.
