And you thought memory management was expensive _before_!

  Actually it's cheaper this way, because you can sell the NFT to fund the operation. Before, you had to pay for everything it ran on!

    That's why everyone loves JavaScript so much. You don't have to pay for the electricity your code burns, your users do.

      I wonder if it's possible to run a linux vm (ala jslinux) in browser, connect them to the network via a proxy to allow the apps inside the linux vm to make arbitrary connections (I think I saw a jslinux clone that uses some form of proxy to allow tcp access from inside the vm, but forgot the name), then run a kubernetes worker node in them. Then you can try to make the page viral somehow and then enjoy your huge and free kubernetes cluster!

        I have a sinking suspicion that Facebook's Messenger webapp is doing exactly that - its UI has been very laggy for me in the past months, and the issue persists through refreshes, browser reboots and system reboots. It's the only thing that makes sense. I mean, they couldn't have screwed up a chat client that badly...

          They don't have the same depth of experience in developing chat apps as some other bay area companies.
