Is this something that we could aim for with Eiffel compilers?

Hi,

As I recall we have had discussions about compiling Eiffel to Javascipt but this might be an alternative that would be more interesting.

http://webassembly.org/

Has anyone investigate Webassembly?

Regards

Anders

Yes, this technology is on the radar, and seems to be a good alternative to JavaScript. However, at the moment it is unclear if any users are going to use an Eiffel binding if it is available.

I was more thinking of compiling Eiffel code to Webassembly code from Eiffels generated C-code. They already have a compiler from C to Webassembly as I understand it.

Indeed, but still the run-time needs to be adapted to the WebAssembly platform.
