opinions on the google native code client

/prog/'s opinions on the google native x86 code client for web browsers

i think the general idea sounds awesome but i can totally understand why they released it as open source, any other action (ACTIVEX) would be foolish imo because it will be a BITCH to secure

I haven't heard of it before but based on your description, it's a fairly neat idea. OTOH, why x86? What are we going to do, translate it to whatever architecture we're running on?
