Browser WASM kernel (slopshare.dev)

A Linux-kernel-like environment implemented in JavaScript that runs in the browser, where each program executes as WebAssembly. The whole system is bootstrapped from a C/C++ compiler compiled from source with a new target, and the project evolved Docker-like packaging for WASM. It can also run coding agents sandboxed inside the browser with HTTP policies and backend-managed skills/extensions, compiling Codex from source and running pi agent and CC (the old Node one) on a custom JavaScript runtime on top of QuickJS compiled inside the environment.

    “Not really sure what to call it, Linux kernel ish implemented in JS so you can run it in the browser. Each program runs in WASM. Everything bootstrapped from a C/Cpp compiler compiled from source with a new target. Also kinda turned into Docker for WASM.”
