Interesting talk. It got me to think about running a asm.js (or
nowadays WebAssembly) on our company's OS... and here I wanted to do
other things during my free day and the weekend :P
But yeah, considering that the amount of transpilers to JS is
increasing (I consider WebAssembly one as well) and Pas2JS is one
after all as well I essentially do agree with the talk... (though
avoiding the kernel kall overhead would probably mean to have the
asm.js running in ring 0 as well and due to my work I've definitely
come to like the advantages of a microkernel :/ )

Sven
