Native Client built into Google Chrome 14

TechChrunch points out that Native Client is coming built into Google Chrome 14:

As Google notes on their Chrome Blog blog today, the latest beta version of Chrome (version 14) has Native Client built-in. Their implementation allows for C and C++ code to be executed inside of the browser while maintaining the security that a web technology like JavaScript offers.

This is a big deal. Ā This is a bridge between system software and web applications.
