Rule 34 for software: If it exists, there IS a javascript port of it.

That would be Atwood's Law: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/07/the-principle-of-le... And tlrobinson's Law (or corollary?): Any submission to Hacker News about a novel JavaScript program will contain a comment referencing Atwood's Law. https://twitter.com/tlrobinson/status/395636386671235072

It would be missing a good editor. Probably not a bad operating system however

All it needs is for someone to implement JavaScript in elisp and the circle would be complete.... :-)

Done. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-fr/Ejacs Ejacs is an Ecma-262 compliant JavaScript interpreter written entirely in Emacs Lisp. It should work in GNU Emacs versions 22 and higher.

I'm normally unimpressed by applications ported to javascript. However, this actually has me excited. I would love to be able to edit all my Dropbox text files with a web interface. If anyone here works for Dropbox, I beg you to integrate this!
