Re: asm.js support?

What is your use case ? 

AFAIK asm.js is only intended as a highly efficient backend/LLVM for C++/C code (emmscripten). 

It's quite low level and usually as a programmer you don't directly code against asm.js (it is quite painful to work with: http://mrale.ph/blog/2013/03/28/why-asmjs-bothers-me.html). 

In addition to this traditional web-development (DOM/CSS, javascript code) won't won't really benefit from asm.js. 

It would be only beneficial for games and computational (scientific) workloads (maybe create a library similar to Elemental for that use case). 

If you are concerned about performance than it would be better to push for the GWT compiler to emit code that is optimized for modern javascript engines (V8, etc).

Are there any plans for asm.js support for GWT compiled code? Chrome has started support asm.js optimizations and I think it is about time to add this into GWT.

any ideas?
