Wow, this is totally awesome. This is my first time hearing about emscripten and I've been a Cocoa and JS programmer for about 9 years.

What are some of the coolest applications of emscripten?



Not sure if this qualifies as 'cool', but I used Emscripten to port parts of OpenSCAD to Javascript http://www.fabfabbers.com/openscad


PDF.js is used by Firefox to render PDFs in the browser.


PDF.js doesn't use emscripten, as far as I can tell.
