Chrome OS will run apps in Native Code
Google has announced that the Chrome OS aka Chromium will run various Google applications like Gmail, Spreadsheets and Docs in their native code. This is being done in order to make the overall performance faster and make the system more responsive.
Google has promised not to use any third party technologies like Flash, Java or Silverlight as they do not interact directly with the processor.
Unfortunately, the Native Client that handles the native code in Chrome’s browser runs only on the machines that are x86-based. But, Google has promised that they will get it ported to ARM platform too.
Google Go – Google’s programming language will also be made compatible with the Native Client.
