Thats a shame - Ive been on the fence on writing a data analysis environment using NaCL. Have a couple of small demos running but want to find out more about the roadmap before investing more time into it. This is the main reason I am going to Google IO this year to get some kind of feel for what the roadmap / traction looks like for NaCL going forward.


It's not going to be supported by anybody except Chrome, so whatever app you build, is going to cut 3/4ths of the market (plus all the Chrome Browser users that don't download Chrome apps). Most likely Google will keep it around for a while longer since it underpins not only Chrome Browser, but also Chrome OS.

You're essentially in the ActiveX / Java Web Start worlds. It's fine if it suits your needs but it's not the web.
