Also see https://duckduckgo.com/?q=emscripten&atb=v141-3b_&ia=software as well
as https://github.com/QQuick/Transcrypt and http://pyjs.org/ and we can also
embed a js runtime engine in C++ code. Note that vs code which is electron
based is unusable over remote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System
over my home wifi connection while the gtk-based gvim (see
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22gvim%22&atb=v141-3b_&ia=web ) is perfectly usable
and Qt-based apps are decent.

I think those “Sent from my $DEVICE” signatures in E-mails are actually bad
publicity for these devices, given the poor quality of most of these E-mails.
