    The launch of WebAssembly
    Luke Wagner of Mozilla has announced
    the existence of the WebAssembly project. The purpose is to define a
    low-level language to run in web browsers; it will then serve as a
    compilation target for higher-level languages. Developers from most of the
    major browser engines are working on the project. "For existing
    Emscripten/asm.js users, targeting WebAssembly will be as easy as flipping
    a flag. Thus, it is natural to view WebAssembly as the next evolutionary
    step of asm.js (a step many have requested and anticipated).    "
