Emscriptening

Hmm – so once I’ve got the timelapse/SDL2/3D stuff out of the way I’m looking to kick off another project – investigating adding a VXML backend to Emscripten (a source-to-source compiler built on top of LLVM). This should give us the following advantages :

  • Retargetability
  • Lower skills barrier
  • Built-in optimisation

It’ll probably be a personal project (unless I can get anyone to pay me for it of course …). Have set up a Google Code project for the photo-to-3D code – will upload once I’ve got a few more kinks knocked out of it (“release early and release often” and all that). I’m trying not run afoul of the usual twin tag team of perfectionism and explosive feature-creep, but it’s difficult – even on such a small project.
