Hi, one of the authors here. Thanks!

We have a tech report, that has more details on what we are aiming for here: https://web.cs.umass.edu/publication/details.php?id=2414

As another example of what we can do with real Unix abstractions in the browser, we have : https://meme.bpowers.net/

Which runs a standard Go HTTP server in a web worker, and instead of doing XMLHttpRequests to a remote service, can route those requests to the in-browser HTTP server! In this case it is about 10x slower, but I think that is an artifact of the GopherJS compiler I have yet to work out.
