Srsly fellas, do not back this shit! It is not a joke!

Idea (to have a compiler that compiles JS to a "native" binary) is good, but this "give me your money" and "cloud" stuff should be annihilated.

IMHO Fibonacci benchmarks are doodoo.

While I personally wouldn't buy it if I can help it, I don't see a problem with commercially offering compilers per se. The thing I'm having trouble with is potential injection of code (backdoors, etc.) and other security concerns, eg. if a customer of yours is having an imminent issue with your product, you're dependent on the third party tool provider.

I agree that "tool" (in this case compiler) as a service is OK. You're also correct about "trust" aspect (that's what I've meant by "cloud" stuff).

Also In the FAQ on Kickstarter page it says that you'll be able to have your own "Nectar" server, so you don't depend on "Nectar" cloud.

But look at it seriously... 32k USD for a thing that will be probably faced with an open-source (and possibly free) solution.

The amount of "pay me money" features and bullshit:

* ecological

* pay to vote

* Fibonacci benchmark claiming to be faster than C

* claiming to work but actually fails to compile this JS code (as mentioned by johhny in the comments to the article http://blog.seraum.com/compiled-javascript-with-nectarjs-can...):

  var hello = {foo: "Hello, world!"};
  console.log(hello["foo"]);
