So the death of asm.js is upon us? We are drifting away from the timeline of the prophecy:

(And to those who haven't encountered this before, I strongly recommend a watch. It may be the greatest tech talk of all time, for certain values of greatest.)

With this technology's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.

		Not really: ASM.js became WASM. What killed the possibility of WASM being The One Way to run everything is AI... the one wildcard that Gard Bernhardt didn't predict.

I re-watch that presentation two or three times a year because it's a great example of how to give a presentation, how to structure your slide deck to complement your presentation, and a surprisingly educational tour of the permission rings architecture of operating systems.

And at some point we're going to have a period or war and our psychological attachments to old programming paradigms will be released so that we can move on to a more advanced way of doing things (but that won't stop your bank from running YavaScript for at least another 85 years).

Don't worry, YavaScript will live forever.

In Germany, it's still not uncommon to hear Yava and YavaScript.

		I understand that Jawohl is still quite popular there, but JawohlScript adoption is sadly lagging.

I still refer to it as YavaScript much to the confusion of junior devs. I just tell the new kids: "you had to be there..."

Just substitute asm.js with WASM and you're still on the right track.

If we substituted war with COVID we aren't that far off as both happened in 2020. We still have to wait till 2035 to see if true.
