Chrome 14 Beta Integrates Native Client 209
derGoldstein writes "This year Microsoft kept signaling that it's going back to lower-level code with a C++ renaissance. It would give C++ programmers the same priority that was, up until now, reserved for .Net programmers. They even launched a new show about it on their Channel9. Now Google wants to appeal to native programmers with their Native Client for Chrome. It seems the two companies want to cover both the higher-level JavaScript and lower-level C/C++. I dare hope this will give seasoned C/C++ programmers a place alongside JavaScript programmers at the web development table."

Yeah, nothing thrills me more than the prospect of a language with absolutely no memory safety or bounds checking being exposed to the public Internet. What could possibly go wrong?
