This is the most extreme example of Atwood's law that I've seen so far of.

Any volunteers for making an operating system kernel? Or has that been done already?

Well, there's a PC emulator, http://bellard.org/jslinux/tech.html

Well, the NetBSD kernel has been ported to JS: http://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/kernel_drivers_compiled_to_...

It's using emscripten, not handwritten JS, though.

My favorite emscripten demo was https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/03/12/mozilla-and-epic-pr...

It was really impressive to see UE4 running at ~7 fps on an old ThinkPad (without discrete GPU) in pure software.

Do you happen to have a link to the demo? I looked around but haven't been able to find it.

It looks like the demo lived at the time at https://www.unrealengine.com/html5 - and the site doesn't seem to work through Wayback Machine.

I randomly clicked on an URL Brendan Eich gave on twitter. Maybe this http://kripken.github.io/misc-js-benchmarks/banana/benchmark...

There is also js-git [1], a complete implementation of git in JS, founded by two fundraisers [2][3].
