I have read the standard on ASM.js and some on NaCl. I think you 
will run into trouble with the GC on both NaCl and ASM.js. If you 
don't target ASM.js, then you probably could a completely new 
backend for D that use the standard javascript collector and 
still get some of the benefits. Remember that only Firefox 
support ASM.js.
