We were all collectively drunk on Moore’s law.

Websites have head AOT-compiled components for ages, but ActiveX was an even bigger mistake than Javascript :)

That isn't what I was talking about.

Regarding ActiveX, ever heard of this thing called WebAssembly?

WebAssembly is "AOT compiled" in the same sense that code for the JVM/CLR is "AOT compiled".

Read, my, comment, before, replying.

A, few, more, comments, upwards.

> Biggest mistake on Java and .NET languages was not having AOT compilation in the box like Delphi and VB 6 (to use common mainstream examples).

I am thoroughly confused, because I did read your comments, apparently somehow differently than you read them.

You wrote:

And then:

You seem to be saying that WebAssembly is an AOT compilation thing that we're coming full circle to, and we're telling you it's not.

I was replying to the dude that mentioned ActiveX and Web development, even though my ORIGINAL comment made no reference to it, hence why I started my reply with "That isn't what I was talking about.", clear enough?
