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...
