emscripten

[Michael Stover]

Facebook is hardly a fair example - they are not a true webapp and are more
interested in numbers of users than quality of their app.  Someone who was
serious about making an application over the web would simply require Chrome
or Firefox, and then 99% of your incompatibility issues go away, as well as
your performance problems.

Something like http://muro.deviantart.com/ is great and, to me, demonstrates
the browser/javascript platform is more than capable.
