What is the limiting factor there? I don't understand. I assumed these programming languages were working in a browser (wrapped into wasm or some other VM) so everything was client side. Is that not the case? Are they running the language kernels in their servers? I don't understand what the "cost" here is.

They run server side. That's why his friend was able to take it down with a fork bomb.

oh ok. is running things in server really necessary though? it sounds like an enormous cost even if you are mildly popular.
