But does this support recursion? I'd like to run JSLinux in my browser and then point its Browser to https://www.bellard.org/jslinux/ which then starts another JSLinux which opens the browser on JSLinux which ...
JSLinux isn't another Linux but a landmark of postmodern philosophy, and OP most def forgot to credit Baudrillard.
crazy cool.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah why don't we learn what he wants and just give it to him, in return he'll properly rewrite all the broken shit we have. Phones, operating systems, desktop environments, countries, appstores, etc.
This is literally a brilliant idea. This guy needs a Macarthur grant now. Even if he rewrites half of all the broken shit we have, (and takes all of 20 years to do it) the world will be a better place. Except for _ which will always be a ___ hole.
This guy should have had a Macarthur grant a decade ago.
The list of brilliant stuff he has done is longer than my arm, and I have long arms.
Fabrice is amazing. The amount of stuff this guy has built is utterly incredible. If I built any one of the things he's built (ffmpeg, qemu, tinyc) I would never stop bragging about it. Instead, he just keeps hacking on other cool stuff.
100% agree, would like to meet that guy one day
JSLinux is too slow to be used for anything. Where is the complete source code for this?

Considering the extremes of prolific developers gives interesting contrast to dogmas such as "functions/files should never be above x lines", where `quickjs.c` is 50k lines and has functions that are hundreds of lines long: https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/blob/master/quickjs.c (Obviously different approaches suits different circumstances.)
The answer is simple: Bellard can recall all 50K lines of context, while most can't. I too happen to have a larger working memory and only later realized that my threshold for files and functions is way higher than most others. The dogma is only required when the file is to be read and written by multiple people.
