New opportunities for D => ASM.js

[Etienne via Digitalmars-d]

I've been reading on Emscripten and LDC and how they would be nice 
together, and came across this nice little library:
http://www.leaningtech.com/duetto/examples/

It's a C++ server/client framework that compiles to JS through clang => 
LLVM bytecode => ASM.js.

I'd like to point out that asm.js is a very fast subset of the 
javascript language that allows almost native speeds (3x slowdown vs C 
only) which enables games to be run in the browser without external 
dependencies.

This had me thinking of forking the Emscripten project in order to 
support the druntime / phobos library & give it access to the browser 
DOM interface, as to allow javascript web applications to be written 
fully in D (to produce interfaces like openUI5 and more).

This would have multiple advantages:
- Suitable for huge front-end development frameworks using safe typing 
and contractual programming
- Opens the door to petaFLOPS of distributed CPU power based simply on 
website visitation without affecting user experience
- Allows Javascript proprietary code to be harder to de-obfuscate or 
reverse engineer
- FAST Browser-based database engines and full runtime capabilities can 
be developed (and added as browser extensions for persistence) to be 
actively used by the server with a simple interface

And most of all, it simplifies web development.

I'm not going to instantly call for a project to be started, but I'd 
love to hear some why do's and why don'ts b/c I don't like to rely on my 
point of view alone.
