Now that you can run a horribly inefficient, buggy, and badly programmed operating system from right within your browser, imagine all the new possibilities for web-appist-coders!
>>2 They actually believe that if the script fails, and it does not affect your OS or binaries, it is safe, reliable, and "working as intended" for it to be within performance.
>>4 So-Sorry. Just trying to help. Sorry to be a party pooper, it's all I do these days.
>>5 More like recreated a VM for a web browser only OS, which is still Planned Obsolesce. How will they ever run their torrents then? On the ECMASrrent script? What about their video streaming? On <video>?
>>7 Ok, what good use do you see for all this Javashit? Why are companies investing in this shit? Why does runtimejs even exist? Explain it all.

>>9 Imagine a world where programmers only need to know one programming language. You use it to write your kernel, your drivers, your native applications, and even your web applications. In fact, because of this, web applications are just native applications! Their backend is written in this universal language, as well as their front end. Javascript could be the language to make this happen.

What is wrong with that?

>>14 It's redefining safe and reliable in a way that is devoid of meaning. Of course a sandboxed failing script won't affect the outer environment, but in the end, you are just passing the difficulty to that environment because you require it in order to run.
I hate doublepost, but there's another, even worse part that didn't come to my mind: The more successful runtime.js becomes, the more devoid of meaning this safe and reliable phrase is. As an operating system, the idea is to move as much as possible into Javashitland, but as soon as you do that, your security gains are for naught. Sure, everything in the outer layer is secure, but there isn't anything in the outer layer anymore.
That is a bad idea, because non-power of two values waste bits -> waster transistors.

Some complex instruction set computers (CISC) have long microword lengths. For example, the Nanodata QM-1 computer has a 360 bit nanoword and a 16 bit microword, the IBM-370/3033-S system has a 122 bit microword, and the Digital VAX 11-780 machine has a 98 bit microword.
