Cited by one HN commenter as the source of Ray Cromwell's views on the lack of suitable sound APIs for games in HTML. The comment also asks about the author's C#-to-JavaScript compiler.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
