Re: [AD] Allegro JavaScript port using Emscripten (First version complete)

["Trent Gamblin" <trent@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My reasons are:

1) It's too special interest. There's no good reason to ever use this other
than the author's use case which was showing off a demo where he couldn't
use native programs. Skater (an incredibly simple game) runs at 12 FPS on my
Core i7.
2) It bloats Allegro in many areas including size and especially time needed
to completely test and maintain releases.
3) If you do decide to use this there's no reason you can't go get it
somewhere else. Reasons 1 and 2 tell you the drawbacks. Put the drawback on
this library (having to get it somewhere else) rather than on Allegro itself
(win win.)

Thanks,
Trent

I'm not in favor of adding this at all, probably ever. Just my 2c.

Thanks,
Trent

This is a very nice beginning. I am in favour of already adding this
to the development branch of allegro, or to a separate branch, to keep
Max's good work safer from getting lost.
