I don't see the problem with asm. It appears that Chrome and Opera support them too. It can only be a good thing. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2013/11/26/chrome-an...

It doesn't require requires a plugin install like NaCl

The citadel demo, if anyone's looking for it: http://www.unrealengine.com/html5/

The article seems pretty doomy regarding asm.js - is it really going to take off and become an unweildy/frozen standard? Or is it of interest only to people writing game engines in pure JS / vanilla browser technologies?

That's because you didn't read the article.

Which among other things, already points to that blog post.

The linked website has an horrible animated background picture. Reading the text is almost impossible with IE 11. Screenshot: http://postimg.org/image/46p2krx95/

Honestly, I've got no idea what the OP was trying to say... I think they are implying that asm.js is cool, but they're annoyed that it's being built on top of JS rather than from-scratch.
