C/C++ applications in the browser
-
Normally developers "compile" applications from programming languages into machine language (1011010) which then work only for a very distinct system/machine.
The "llvm" compiler with "emscripten" extension can now output to JavaScript, that means it can make existing unmodified programs work in any browser (well, in modern browsers).What you see on this web page does not use any plugins, and it is not a web app or anything mocked up but everything from window resizing to text rendering originates from a "native" program.
(more examples)
That is impressive! -
the sites down, must be the rush of SketchUcation users zooming on over...
it sounds a bit like what you can do with webkit and the objectiveC plugin on a mac. but that's all local and mac only.
