Intel Bringing SIMD to JavaScript
Why not bring SIMD to Lua or Python? Or Lisp, or Haskell? Why not just bring SIMD on the web to anyone who wants it?Will we have to explain to our grandchildren why they can only write code in some flavor of Javascript? Will it make sense, then, to wave our hands at ActiveX? Or do we have any better ideas for the future?Mozilla's mission to protect the web from all languages but Javascript is locking us into a future where there will be no choice and nothing better than Javascript, because there will be neither an audience nor hardware support for anything but Javascript.
