Just like you have been told before that WebAssembly is nothing new beyond politics, all the way back to 1961.

Above you linked projects that you said happened specifically because of webasm. Here you are saying it is nothing new 'since 1961' (what does that mean exactly)?

How have you made CPU workloads run at native speeds across all major browsers before we webasm?

Many people have corrected you on your extreme and bizarre vendetta against webasm. You are the only one saying it is both nothing new and somehow enables new projects that you don't like.

As shown at the start of the thread, with Flash Alchemy, already in 2011.

Those people are the ones with an agenda to spread WebAssembly as above anything else in regards to safety, and the very first attempt to have a bytecode format for C and C++ code, when IBM and Unisys mainframes, CLR, Brew, Tendra, PNaCL, Alchemy have been there first.

My agenda, is only to prove a point that, it isn't that much safer than PNaCL, and the only thing we got from its adoption is a 10 year delay having a general purpose VM in the browser.

Ironically, Chrome is anyway who calls the shots in WebAssembly, as per browser market share.

You think all the people in this thread talking about quake 3 and doom 3 running smoothly are part of an agenda against ancient bytecode formats for IBM mainframes?

Only those pushing for WebAssembly as if it was the best thing since the Web came to be.
