Can someone ELI5 what asm.js is? I've tried Googling it multiple times now and every time I basically give up because I can't relate to anything it's talking about when all they use is buzzwords.

This (funny and accessible, don't worry) talk by Gary Bernhardt is what helped me understand asm.js for the first time: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...

A language which is a strict subset of JavaScript. The purpose is to write compilers from C to asm.js, which then allows you to write C code and it compiles to something that can run on the browser

... and that strict subset of JS can be compiled into very efficient native code.
