* asm.js / Microsoft update: Microsoft announced work is underway to add asm.js optimizations to IE. | |||
** 'asm.js' is the name the kind of JavaScript produced by tools like Emscripten. While asm.js code runs pretty well in all browsers (it's just JavaScript), it runs best with specific optimizations and Microsoft is the second browser (after Firefox) to include these specific optimizations. This is very good news for Mozilla since we pioneered asm.js as a way to reliably get near-native performance across browsers without requiring plugins or other non-standard technologies. | |||
