coming off of that

is...

You know when i first got asked about that i was like well you know what

i don't see us really using this on anything it's another one of these

weird "you do something in a web browser" and we're doing this

with Quake Live. You got to play your game in a web browser. That was a plugin

at a lot of people latched onto that aspect which never really the point of it

In hindsight was quick light wasn't in the browser because it causes

maintaining that market is really kinda sucked and it's been a ben problematic

because offer you much about went to school full screen

wet g l as inability to do

three-d_ content

in there it is

is somewhat interesting as a platform

but it's a tempered by ice

the idea of using

it was bad enough to mobile work coding in java

now i have paid fun doing that by corks delves into a bar p_g_a_ messed up on

the mobile platforms

but there is uh... he says of

strange futility toward optimizing java bytecode

i'm doing that you're like okay i'm doing

good quality optimizing work that's been going to be interpreted by a virtual

machine

anti yes you get just-in-time compilation hours but it's not the same

as programming directly to

to the metal or you could just to to the instruction set for that matter

webapplications racing okay no word to use javascript that's taking the

absurdity one level further high thank okay we're gonna do

subhash high-performance graphics application in

javascript

i here this is just

offensively wrong on some levels but

i have to temper that with the fact that so much of the magical stuff that

happens happens through offensively bad code on there you go all the the magic

that runs the web is scary scary stuff and it's not how i'd you know i can

optimizing or eighty programmer would have done things

so i have to temper that by saying there

there is a yacht

initial sets a violent repulsion but that doesn't mean it's not a potentially

valuable platform

and the idea of

being able to you know to recur interesting content areas

is interesting but you still have two major loads and all of that

and as it stands i would think that general like

gaining a cloud applications in general ice house

bore alive

had a lot more chance of delivering real value to people than the web platform

because

our experience with quake live at the weather is a platform it sucks every

revision of a browser comes out something breaks we have to go in and

figure out what's different about the environment there

if you have to do something inside a browser

uh... biggest client is much more interesting as something that you know

it started out as he really pretty darn clever x eighty six thirty two-bit pack

on the way that they could

uh... sandbox all of this and you circled interestingly

snout dynamically compilation step it something that your program in c or c

plus plus it compiles down to something that's going to be not your daschle four

optimist tops at optimization level for a completely gate if code but

pretty damn close to native code and you could do

all of your evil pointer chasing stuff that whatever you want it to you as a to

the metal game developer but you still have to talk with the rest of the system

to the web platform

at the platform specification is still really not good you know we've over the

last two decades we've seen lots of platforms and platforms are very rarely

what you want hopefully the falls to you know what you want eventually

but going through web geo marshall everything that the budgeted efficiency

there but course still wait we better than doing something in javascript

but it does bring up the whole scary issue of

security is something that

people should be carried a bit about now in that it the old days when we're at

graphics performance were just making our graphics do what we want is

you'll get to the acceptable level with the critical kal

but now graphics is in many many ways good enough

and i don't actually think it's a good idea at all to sacrifice security in

something that might be used regularly like a browser

four some degree of graphics performance so by absolutely believe that that the

marshall and it goes on through the web geo interface is the right thing to do

and it's still scares the heck out of me because

anne desde el one with a straight face could try to tell you the debt

a web geol application is fully sandbox that

i did don't believe it for a second idea quercus leasing people break out of sand

boxes involving just the cd you had everybody that's graphics programmer has

you know has at some point crash to keep you in some way by sending down some

frightening program combined with some set up a set of attributes

it's just not the most stable system
