> As a thought experiment, we're almost there! We could technically have `win95.img + bochs86vm.wasm + autorun.inf + msword.exe` wrapped in a "browser evaluator"

I looked into this and... holy crap! We are there. Not for modern programs quite yet, sure, but this is amazing. You can use Windows 2000 from your browser.

I think you are looking for Shadow.

Or just the whole kitchen sink. Why not?

I am not sure what 'ads' you are referring to, we don't have ads anywhere on our websites and demos.

Anyway, click on the "Apps" button on the top menu, then click on "Terminal". An xterm session will open for you.

You could be interested in the terminal-only version of WebVM, based on Debian: https://webvm.io

GCC? That's easy! :-) What about a complete system? https://webvm.io

Shameless plug: we are hosting a WebVM Hackathon next week (11-14 October) over Discord. For more information: https://cheerpx.io/hackathon

X64 is not yet supported, but we got good results for x86 already: https://webvm.io

I stumbled upon Leaningetch in the past looking for a way to compile Java to JavaScript. This is a company that found a niche in "modernizing" old software, like, serving customers that still have mission-critical software written as a C++/MFC or even Java Applets and help them keep that software alive.

There's nothing wrong with their niche, but I feel like there's a big disconnect to what could be attractive to the HN crowd. In particular:

> WebVM is released under the Apache License, Version 2.0 [...] free to use for technological exploration, testing and non-commercial uses. [...] If you want to build a product on top of CheerpX/WebVM, please get in touch: [email protected]. [0]

Embarcadero is another company that releases great-looking tech but I would personally not want to dig too much into [1], because of the involved costs.

Well, the environment itself is a container. Supporting Linux "namespaces" used to implement containers is also a possibility.

As described in the project README we provide a GitHub Action workflow to convert Dockerfiles into bootable images for WebVM: https://github.com/leaningtech/webvm
