Proposal: Use FlowJS and compile to asm.js

Open sasha240100 opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

As we work with webgl - speed matters. I seriously think now about using Flow and then compile to Asm.js. Links:

@WhitestormJS/whitestormjs-dev-team What do you think?

Hmm, IDK.

Is this really worth to improve the performance than refactoring costs?

@preco21 let's keep it for featured releases

This looks cool - was not aware there was a flow -> asm tool. However may not provide much performance boost if underlying Three itself is not also written as Flow.

@thejmazz I agree. Three.js should be affected too. But I think they will soon use SIMD and other optimizations. That would be cool for physics too
