You probably don't know the difference as a windows user.
As someone who has to develop on linux, Mac and windows, switching over to my windows partitions or vm env's is like going back in time a decade or more.
Well you see, if you broke the rules and read the article, they're defining a new intermediate code format that's kind of like Java byte code (not really, but the intent is somewhat similar).
This "WebAssembly" is an abstraction over real hardware, that is compiled just in time so it can be executed on the native hardware or converted to JavaScript and interpreted by a VM.
Personally, I think it's cool but it's definitely reinventing a lot of concepts Java tried, succeeded at (cross platformness) and hilariously failed at (Java Applets).

How much are companies willing to pay to get into that hot, hot linux desktop gaming market?
I say this joking as a Linux user who realizes the Linux market isn't exactly setting wallstreet's pants on fire.
Lower your hiring standards.
Boy I can't wait to not install this on my android devices.
What could Microsoft's shitty "late to the game" voice recognition add over the existing solutions? I bet it'll be like bing... no one will care.
Have the battery display look like a flux capacitor.
Oh yes...
Musk should buy the Delorean rights and bring it back as a Tesla brand.
I'd consider buying a Delorean reboot.
That additional 0.0001% of users, you mean.

I've been using the tech preview and its a shit pile, it would be amazing if Microsoft managed to turn that garbage barge around in a few weeks time.
How can you not mention postgres?
Why buy the horse when you get the milk for free?
And what happens when the free milk gets hit by a truck?
I'm going to go with Plague Zombies.
They can compile C++ to javascript for fucks sake, see emscripten.
Especially considering the last one exploded on take off.
Yep, Zombies I bet.
Yeah, damn those shark activists

I proclaim Larry's Law:
Those who fail to understand Java will attempt to reinvent it. Poorly. And compile it to JavaScript.
But conspicuously never spell out the full jiggawatt.
Oh the joys of working at IBM.
640k ought to be enough for anyone.
There is no evidence that anyone wants one of these new fangled mouse pointing devices.
I hear they're going to port to the 6502 next!
Windows 10 is very dated feeling. I've been using it since the Insider Preview came out.
It's not even close to the level that Android/iOS mobile is at in terms of UI and UX. It's not even to the level of a modern Linux desktop.
Nice troll.
I use gnome 3 at work but use win 10 in a vm for some windows only work components.
Windoes 10 feels about 10 years out of date.
I suppose it depends on the definition of "supercar."
However, I hope this means my android phones will start to get better battery life. Half the life of an iOS device would be a huge win.
I just wish AMD gpu drivers weren't so shitty.
I'd love to have a solution to compare against Nvidia.
