Has anyone tried to port Erlang to asm.js so that it could run in the
browser? I tried to search but it looks like only compiling Erlang code
was attempted: http://luvv.ie/
They claim that any language that compiles with LLVM could be compiled
to asm.js. Considering that HIPE compiles Erlang to a native code,
theoretically both, BEAM and Erlang code could be compiled with LLVM to
asm.js, and that would mean the ability to run any Erlang application
together with BEAM/NIF-dependent libraries in the browser. Unless there
are some specific assembler-based optimizations that couldn't be
expressed in C easily?
