Hi there,
Just wondering whether GWT supports any asm.js like optimizations, or if there are any plans for adding them in the future? It can make GWT very attractive for writing games, for example.

GWT compiles Java, a garbage collected language. asmjs doesn't support
garbage collection, so the translation would be difficult. String's
have no simple mapping. I don't think the performance win would be all
that big. We shipped Angry Birds for the Web written in GWT in 2012,
back when JS was a lot slower and it ran at 60fps.
