Comments on: LLVM and running C as well as Python in the browser http://ajaxian.com/archives/llvm-and-running-c-as-well-as-python-in-the-browser Cleaning up the web with Ajax Sat, 20 Mar 2010 13:30:04 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: matanlurey http://ajaxian.com/archives/llvm-and-running-c-as-well-as-python-in-the-browser/comment-page-1#comment-265774 matanlurey Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:17:46 +0000 http://ajaxian.com/?p=3827#comment-265774 I am waiting for the point where you really can use native java (instead of javascript) in the browser - not in the form of GWT and not in the form of Applets - but a replacement for javascript. Then you could use java, scala, jruby, jython, groovy, or any other jvm language.

Microsoft says it'll eventually work in VS Express, but the last time I checked it's only in Visual Studio proper. Which I'm sure seems fine if you work INSIDE Microsoft's walls.

Adobe doesn't have to spread its arms open wide to all the .NET languages... but allowing better programming and cross-compilation from well respected languages like C and C++ is an excellent start, especially since the near-native performance seems to be acceptable (if quake is playable!). And I'm sure more cross-compiler options will follow for other languages, just like the .NET intermediate runtime language spread. . And the point is definitely well made (IMHO) that Flash is at 99% and silverlight won't be there for a *long* time. i think there’s a lot of great potential here… Adobe doesn’t have to spread its arms open wide to all the .NET languages… but allowing better programming and cross-compilation from well respected languages like C and C++ is an excellent start, especially since the near-native performance seems to be acceptable (if quake is playable!).

I can't imagine Silverlight getting that kind of installed base even in the next 5 years. Yeah, but almost everyone has Flash.

It doesn't really work for the browser though, does it? Unless all browsers end up supporting the same tokenized files. And if they do, that's pretty much the end of the open web. . This seems more like a technology that stays in Flash forever than something likely to enter the browser world. . Really cool, though. It opens up a ton of possibilities for Flash and AIR apps. Like all those nifty emulated HP calculators that I'd been thinking of porting to Flash and JavaScript after I got rich. . And MAME, of course. Wow.
