> Mozilla's Christopher Blizzard criticized NaCl, claiming that native code cannot evolve in the same way that the source code-driven web can. He also compared NaCl to Microsoft's ActiveX technology, plagued with DLL Hell.
I don't understand why. They have a WebGL version in Google Maps that look almost identical. The data is the same between the two. Did they recompile the old desktop client to NaCl for no good reason? They didn't even keep any features, the only thing they kept seem to be the rendering. The new client isn't even close to the old desktop version that hasn't seen an update in years, and probably never will either.
