Thanks to reddit, I looked into how we could emulate Java Applets using D for Chrome.

For those who don't know, Chrome supports two plugin architectures (ignoring npapi). NaCL and PNaCL.
PNaCL is the interesting one. It is "portable". Basically it uses llvm bitcode. There are some limitations[0].

So the question, has anyone played around with PNaCL with ldc? (I'm not setup to do this myself and don't intend to)
