I don't like running TempleOS on hardware or in a full fledged VM(Seems like overkill). I would like to make an alternate virtual machine to run TempleOs programs on, in Javascript using a Canvas element for UI. I am unsure if there are constructs which TempleOS uses which are unrepresentable in a virtual machine built inside of a javascript virtual machines - like threads, interrupts, etc. I think events could be wi…

Philosophical objection: that is exactly the opposite of what TempleOS is about. Practical objection: By the time you've done that, you'd have written a complete IBM-PC-to-browser compatibility layer. ... This would be super cool if it worked, I'm just sceptical.

Would you be able to publish said letters somewhere for posterity?

When I die I hope people don't decide to begin sharing my private conversations.

When you die, there will be nobody to care about that

Have there been any major improvements/updates/upgrades to TempleOS in the last year or so? Haven't seen the author of the OS posting around much in that time.

Bummer. Thanks.

QEMU and KVM also support pcspkr audio, so they should be perfectly suitable to run TempleOS.

Does it support emulating one for a MacBook that lacks the hardware?

Yes, it's certainly using whatever sound hardware you have to emit beeps and blips :)

Re: complete IBM-PC-to-browser- I am not sure about that. I think that the Holy C compiler only emits a small subset of all of the x86/64 Instruction set.
