Comment on Google Chrome SVP says Portable NaCl will ship "in six weeks"

Comments

That's neat, but an odd thing to incidentally mention.

The announcement is about the new ARM-based Chromebooks, and PNaCl is the way to write performant native apps that run on all architectures supported by Chrome.

Of course, but surely this really cool project that Google has been working on for years and years deserves a bigger announcement than an aside in a netbook preview. Hopefully one will be coming along soon.

PNaCl was announced quite a while ago, and is a publicly developed open source project. The new detail here is just when it should start shipping to stable for use in Apps and Extensions.

Agreed. Maybe they're testing the waters with the Chromebook and not updating the Android Chrome yet.

BTW is there a dev channel for Android Chrome?
