I'd say this resource is more aimed at the developers writing the stuff on the other side of the APIs a typical desktop application calls.

Not that I'm in favour of developing desktop applications in JavaScript or anything. I don't really think those are a great idea. It's just that there's a lot of intermediate steps between "let's use JavaScript" and "let's worry about using the best x86 opcodes" which are perhaps more sensible than either extreme.
