I imagine that he has to comb through a bunch of stuff to find these, maybe we should spur him on.

That's fowl play. If a coupé has four doors, it's not a coupé.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The chicken coup was an innovation too far ahead of it's time,
they had batteries even before people knew what to do with electricity.

I don't think that's the guy who built my $50 Walmart guitar.
It is nice to see expert craftsmen. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No, I heard he's out painting the town red on his annual day off with the 25 cents (minus expenses) he indirectly earned from you.

Wow! Even with all those modern tools it is a big thing... Nice work of a true craftsman...

Because of the announcement that Google was leaving PNaCl and incorporating WebAssembly I decided to read up on it a bit:
WebAssembly High-Level Goals - WebAssembly[^]
That lead me to this nice slide deck explaining asm.js:
Big Web App? Compile It![^]
That's a really great slide deck on the topic.
The really interesting slide in there says,
Kripken: JavaScript is standards-based and the only language that runs in all web browsers
Yes, it's obvious but also just seeing it like that is almost shocking to the system.
But, as I was going through that he mentions the vast number of libraries that are already written to convert code written in a language (Python, C/C++, Ruby, etc) to JS.
There are over 100 or more 
I found this list : List of languages that compile to JS · jashkenas/coffeescript Wiki · GitHub[^]
The Point
Embrace Javascript, it is your future!
Or, maybe not. Forget JavaScript and embrace WebAssembly.

I think it bears repeating every time someone talks about WebAssembly and asm.js in the same post (because many folks are still hazy on it): they are two entirely different beasts.
WebAssembly is a binary (well, bytecode) distribution. asm.js is just a very strict subset of javascript (generally limited to the pieces that perform the best), but it is still javascript and runs through the browser's javascript engine.

Good point. I noticed that too. The (asm.js-based) slide deck is just kind of nice because it walks through the overview of how the compile to js thing works.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Agreed.

Why embrace JS if I can keep using another language and hide the ugliness behind the converter?
Today I write in languages of my choice and absolutely don't care at all what assembly, meta or JS it compiles down to, haven't felt the need to embrace nor even glance at compiler output for 40 years now regardless what it is.
The Actual Point
As long as it works just keep on using whatever floats your boat.

Yeah, you're right really. Some people still know assembly though, even though we _all_ use high level languages. People who understand JavaScript will be the geniuses of the future.
