This is the most mind blowing thing I've seen done in Javascript yet. Yes, I realize Google's NaCl and V8 are far more mind blowing on a technical level, but this impresses from the user point of view—it doesn't look anything like "the web" but
it is all web. Great magic trick!
Can anyone think of a more disgusting, perverted use of the web stack than this? There's a reason nobody uses html and Javascript to represent an MMO game engine. But they did it and it look incredible!
Everyone betting long html5 right now is going to win in the end, because the browser will eventual become the universal UI and slurp in all other "micro-platforms". Yes Apple, this means Cocoa Touch too...
If the folks making Aves wanted to really blow everyone's minds, they would make Aves output Objective-C code. Then you write your iPhone/iPad game in html/javascript, port it to Objective-C, and you're done. Since Apple has publicly blessed PhoneGap, we know html/javascript will never fall under the exclusionary rule 3.1.1. This means Apple just setup html/javascript to be the victor on mobile and gaming platforms.
