You are right, saying "modern" I have used the wrong words. If you use
emscripten to compile large amounts of C or C++ code you probably need a very
fast JavaScript engine. And we are still in the middle of the JS speed race, so
it matters if you use FF 3.6 or FF4 or the latest canary build of Chrome that
has Crankshaft. In few years this speed race will end and using the very latest
JS engine will not matter.
