The police officers responsible for the murders of countless innocent Black people.

If early error is deferred then it's no longer early... that's all I meant by skipped. It still is a semantic change that's unrelated to a binary AST.

i'm very skeptical about the benefits of a binary JavaScript AST. The claim is that a binary AST would save on JS parsing costs. however, JS parse time is not just tokenization. Fo…

This architecture switch will have no impact on the V8 API. We're working closely with the Node.js team to make sure that this is a smooth transition and early results look as thou…

Would appreciate a bug report if you have a repo: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/entry?template=WASM%20...

Here's how to interact with browser APIs and import/export functions via the WebAssembly JS API: http://webassembly.org/getting-started/js-api/

We're very interested in exploring this space. It's possible that this capability is exposed through an extension of sourcemaps [0]. Definitely curious to hear more ideas and feedb…

The main benefit would be shipping a single WebAssembly module to target client and server (e.g. the same benefit of sharing JS between the browser and Node).

As pointed out below, technically "ECMAScript® 2015" is "ECMA-262 6th Edition", so the numbers still exist in some form. It's a really difficult balance between readability, matchi…

The gutters are a little small on my iPhone, but I can see all the text. Want to send a screenshot to seththompson [at] google [dot] com? I'll see how much I can fix.

See my comment below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11564354 It's not so simple as (paraphrasing) 'ES6 is sugar and makes ES5 regress in speed.' Generally, "make it work rig…

This is a case of "make it work right; then make it work fast". ES2015 performance will improve with time (we've already made 8-10x improvements on certain features) [0]. Strong mo…

You can see comparisons between ES5 and ES2015 feature equivalents, as well as comparisons with older versions at https://kpdecker.github.io/six-speed/ . It's important to remember…

WebAssembly is a low-level runtime currently targeting the existing web platform. There are no plans to add wasm-specific web platform APIs [0]. You will not gain existing capabili…

We just sent out an intent to ship this week! [0] They're trickier to implement than other ES6 features since they require coordination with the Blink side of Chromium. [0]: https:…

WebAssembly is an open source runtime developed under the governance of a W3C Community Group [0]. The binaries that get sent over the wire are simply more efficient ways to pack e…

WebAssembly doesn't intend to replace jQuery, D8, or CSS. However, we definitely plan to enable efficient DOM access. Doing so requires supporting some sort of native Garbage Colle…

Something related to debugging? Perhaps you came across this thread? https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/2546#issuecomment-1893...

The Emscripten toolchain can be used to produce both WebAssembly and asm.js from the same codebase [0]. There are also the nascent beginnings of a translation tool from WebAssembly…
