Something Interesting. Javascript x86 emulator

[Love4Boobies]

I'm not sure what everyone here is impressed about... I see two options:

• Fabrice Bellard wrote something and that automatically makes it awesome for some reason.
• Someone wrote an emulator (of which there are dozens, most of them better) in JavaScript (which is an elegant language to write things in).

Am I missing anything here?

Meh. You missed the fancy cloud-ness of having an OS run in your web browser, without a need for some third-party browser plugin

Am I the only person who really likes Javascript's purity?

No.

Third. It's a beauty and I love it. With a strong foundation you can do (almost) anything in it and it would be also readable (unlinke Perl ).
I've worked with jQuery for a while now, I may try Prototype at some point, for it's nice class implementation.
Oh, and I have my own shell/module implementation, powered by v8. It has some neat features you won't find and node.js, and it's dead simple to write modules for. Too bad I don't have time/motivation for expanding it .

Right, except there are already better ways of running applications across networks than in your browser (remotely or not)... I call /fail on this one. Now, sharing CPUs in a distributed system---that would've been cool.
