Any plans for a webassembly support with FPC ?
There is an old thread about it here:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,28836.0.html
Many skeptics, but many think it is an interesting idea even though
skeptical.
And what happened to microsoft silverlight? did anyone care?
IMHO Silverlight is dying because Java is the winner over C#, due to
Android systems outselling any other OS architecture.
Hence WebASM - that seems to be based on Java - might be successful in
pushing the idea of allowing for precompiled byte code embedded in HTML.
Regarding fpc/Lazarus, it obviously would be a huge benefit if on top of
fpc's WebAdmin support, the LCL would provide decent support for an
appropriate WidgetType that allows to simply cross-compile a "usual"
Lazarus project to be runnable in a browser.
The "WEB-LCL"code would need to access the Browser's "GUI"
infrastructure using the appropriate API (supposedly defined as a part
of the WebASM specs), in a way as compatible as possible to the other
WidgetTypes (such as "Win32" or "GTK2").
Of course a "WEB-LCL" and "WEB-RTL" (dynamic Web-linkable) WEBASM files
needs to be provided on a server and the project resources need to be
embedded somehow.
As a further extension, "in depth" support for communicating (using
WebSocket) between the parts of a dual-issue application, one part
running in native code on the Server "behind" the WebServer, one part
running in the browser, would be very appropriate. (Doing a single
"application" and seamlessly distributing it in that way had always been
a promise of Silverlight's.)
This is a great opportunity to beat Embarcadero :-):-):-)
