Another problem is (like mentioned before) how to store the module files in a browser. There is the FileSystem API, but it is Chrome-only. IndexedDB is implemented in Firefox, Chrome and IE10, but you can store file blobs only in Firefox and not in the other browsers. There is a FileSystem API wrapper for Firefox (https://github.com/ebidel/idb.filesystem.js) but with some limitations.What do you think about a HTML5/JS implemantion in general? How can we use as much as possible code of the current library so that we don't have to rewrite everything from scratch?
I have no opinions on Emscripten v. rewrite as my C++ knowledge is fairly limited (to say it mildly), but I am in the process of switching to Geeksphone Peak (Firefox OS phone) and so I am terribly interested in a possibility of having replacement for AndBible for it.
I can see that work on Chromium is still ongoing (https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=108012), but I believe that at least for us friends of Firefox (and apparently http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh779017%28v=vs.85%29.aspx IE10, which I am not) I would keep hope that this will get completely implemented. After all, one should write against standards (http://www.w3.org/TR/IndexedDB/#key-path-construct seems to indicate support for File should be standard) not against implementations, right?
