Hey, you're good at this. ;)

It's funny to see that people so opposed to JS are too short sighted to see that asm.js could enable what they've wanted all along. Look at that!

asm.js is a cross-platform bytecode; it just happens to be ASCII and look like JS. :) Arguments against asm.js as a bytecode are mostly about aesthetics and "elegance".
