Mozilla and Epic Games have partnered to compile the Unreal Engine to JavaScript via asm.js:https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2013/03/27/mozilla-is-unlocking-the-power-of-the-web-as-a-platform-for-gaming/http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/27/mozilla-and-epic-games-bring-unreal-engine-3-to-the-web-no-plugin-needed/ Optimizations should be added to V8 to generate good code for the asm.js subset of JavaScript. The implementation cost should be small compared to the potential upside -- the ability to run significant existing code bases with close to the speed of C inside the JavaScript engine.

Project Member#2vegorov@chromium.orgIt would be good to fix issues like Issue 2424 before implementing "use asm". This way we will actually speed up some real world hand written code as well as emscripten generated code.
