It is great for little tasks, but does not scale well. Please create a standard for a browser VM instead of this JS as ASM workaround that everyone is starting to use.

What didn't scale was the server-side. The client-side is just fine.

As for the idea of a browser VM, it is a world we live in. Welcome to the wonders of Java applets.
