Google has unleashed their Chromium project. It is a native client SDK. This enables you to use C++ code run by your Internet browser. The C++ code can be called from HTML and JavaScript. It is supposed to make your functionality more powerful. You can access all kinds of C++ libraries.The browser is becoming the default experience for users. Google wants the browser to be the next generation operating system. Some people are concerned about this new power being available in the browser.
This might be good if people write POSIX compliant code so it can run on all kinds of platforms. Google is positioning this technology for cloud computing. Knowing Google, this might be in Beta for a while.
Others wonder whether Chromium offers anything beyond what the Java Virtual Machine and applets can give you. C++ programmers might think this is just like Microsoft's ActiveX technology. Btw, I got all this info from readwriteweb. So props to them.
