could probably compile the emulator with Emscripten or something (which 
can compile C into JS).

for a past VM project, had also once wrote one of the interpreter 
backends in Java (with the intent of using it on GWT and Android), but 
this didn't really go anywhere.

I ended up primarily focusing on a VM written in C, which ended up being 
used in a few robotics projects (for running C as a scripting language), 
as I was able to make the VM reasonably friendly with the timing 
constraints in the scheduler. as much as possible, it was needed to 
maintain events occurring within about +/-5us of when they were 
scheduled to occur (mostly for sake of interfacing with external 
electronics via GPIO pins and similar).



but, I am not likely to work on a JS based emulator anytime in the 
immediate future though, given I am not really a huge fan of JS and also 
don't currently have a personal website anyways.

I had one before, but my ISP blocked all incoming ports, and pretty much 
all of the web-hosting that exists which would actually "do something 
useful" for me (SSH+FTP and LAMP), costs money.

I don't have a job, so no income, and pretty much no one will hire me to 
do much of anything...
I can write code reasonably good, but pretty much have nothing else 
going for me (in the sense of stuff employers/HR people care about, 
namely degrees and work-history). so, I sit around applying random 
places, and working on personal projects and similar.
