       LKL.js is Linux Kernel Library ported to JavaScript using   
       Emscripten. Unlike JSLinux, LKL.js includes a Linux kernel   
       fully written in JavaScript and runs without emulators. For   
       more details, read my blog post   
      
       LKL.js just boots Linux kernel and still completely useless.   
       It shows how Emscripten is powerful and how Linux kernel is   
       flexible.   
      
   IIRC, the Qemu developer (Fabrice Bellard) wrote a Linux kernel   
   that ran on a web page.
