About this tag
Asm.js is a strict subset of JavaScript designed as a low-level, efficient target language for compilers, enabling near-native performance in web applications. Microsoft Edge and its Chakra JavaScript engine introduced support for asm.js, allowing developers to run computationally intensive code, such as games or multimedia apps, directly in the browser with optimized performance. This feature was a top user request and is also available in Hosted Web Applications and WebView for Universal Windows Apps. Intel contributed to Chakra's JIT code generation and SIMD enhancements, further improving asm.js performance. The tag covers discussions on asm.js integration, performance benefits, and collaborative development between Microsoft and Intel.
