#12OT but I really hate how these sorts of slide decks break the back button. emscripten is pretty cool technology, the paper presenting the tech ( http://davideglintine-new.googlecode.com/hg/docs/paper.pdf ) is actually a really easy read. Cool stuff. I hope it doesn't become a norm to try and write "normal" websites in C++, though things like games do seem to be easier

Compiling to asm.js isn't the same thing as compiling to JS. asm.js is just a funny-serialized bytecode. Someday they can trade it out for a sane serialization and hardly anything will blink.
Compiler -> Bytecode -> Normal JS/ASM.js is the long term strategy for asm support in JSIL, since it will depend on currently-experimental asm features and using asm+polyfills on all browsers would have obscenely bad performance characteristics.
