There's no need to be disparaging – NaCL is more ambitious but asm.js has a backwards compatibility path. Both are valid engineering decisions, particularly since it's really easy to imagine a world where if NaCL delivers some major benefits the same toolchain could generate both for a seamless upgrade.

IOW, sometimes a hack can be a valid engineering decision.
