 ## What's the story for Emscripten users?
 
-Existing Emscripten users will get the option to build their projects to WebAssembly, by
-flipping a flag. Initially this will be using a [polyfill](Polyfill.md), converting
-Emscripten's asm.js output to WebAssembly, and eventually Emscripten will utilize
-the [WebAssembly LLVM backend](https://github.com/WebAssembly/llvm) project, which aims to
-create a clean, new WebAssembly backend for LLVM (the open source compiler that powers Emscripten) with the
-intention of submitting to upstream. This painless transition is enabled by the

-allowing synchronous calls into and out of JS) which makes WebAssembly compatible with Emscripten's 
-current asm.js compilation model.
