> Theoretically, you can compile any compiled language to asm.js, so you'll have a lot more choice for the language you want to use to create your webapps.
Asm.js is meant for low level code, i.e. the kind of code that doesn't do garbage collection. High-level languages are better off compiling straight into Javascript.

Solid examples that I know about:
- http://www.scala-js.org/ (we are actually using this one)
- https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript
- http://funscript.info/
And there are other implementations as well.
