Re:Mozilla can produce near-native performance on the Web by VoxPelli on Thursday May 23, 2013 @03:22AM (#5755696)
There is work going on in enabling Javascript to get better at doing things in parallel - both on CPU and GPU.

Eg. check out the ParallelArray() from the River Trail project by Intel: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:data_paralle... & http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Trail_(JavaScript_engin... At least Firefox has an initial implementation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Referenc...

The benefit if asm.js being based on ordinary javascript is that they can use these improvements to javascript itself right away more or less.
