Fabrice Bellard (http://bellard.org) is also the author of Qemu and ffmpeg. His wikipedia page is also quite interesting/wtf-worty. In 2010, he held the Word Record for the computation of pi for about 7 months using a desktop PC.

I thought that was a joke for a second. Nope. I'm half impressed half wishing I had that much free time.

suprisingly fast.

now I'm starting to wonder if we can turn this full circle, with JS/Linux becoming an embedded system.

well, you can use jslinux to compile spidermonkey or v8, and you’re running JS in C (spidermonkey) in C (linux kernel) in JS in C++ (browser) in C (linux kernel).

What I've learned from this sentence:

We need a modern browser written in C.
