Emscripten and asm.js: C++'s role in the modern web
C++'s role in the modern web is that every relevant browser since 1998 is written in it. It does not need JS wankery to be relevant, thank you very much.
Probably true that C++ has always been relevant. But not necessarily in the minds of web developers - they would not have considered writing C++ for generating a webpage.
I didn't have a clue about Emscripten; looks really really useful so that I don't have to think too much about writing in other languages and can write EVERYTHING in C++. That'd be great.
