> A side benefit would mean that every browser, and every system, in the world would have TeX installed! Is to run that giant heap of probably not sandboxed or security-audited code in every client actually a thing I would want to have? I mean people are paranoid about js doing unwanted things, but a large distribution of tex code running inside the browser, really?

You can already render LaTeX equations with javascript. It would be madness to include everything but a safe subset of commands that are commonly used to render maths would be fine.

TeX's bug bounty and the credentials of its author are good reasons why it's probably one of the most reliable pieces of such code that you might have.

  Knuth has an older and more narrow concept of 'bug' than the current common definition.

    A "bug" in relation to the functionality of a layout software is also vastly different from battle-hardened code in the field of security.
