Until recently there have been two competing solutions to the same problem: nacl and asm.js, developed by Google and Mozilla respectively. Recently a new approach ([https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/README.md web assembly]) was [http://brendaneich.com/2015/06/from-asm-js-to-webassembly/ proposed], and it seems to have buy-in from both parties. You should be prepared for the possibility that Google will deprecate nacl in favour of web assembly. There was a [https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs/issues/359 suggestion] that the GHCJS project should target web assembly. Luite investigated and had some concerns, but concluded that more research was needed. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8206#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
