Not strictly on point, but a tangential thought…
When are going to get JavaScript accelerators in hardware and OSes such that we can have a few tabs with full blown softwares like “VSCode IDE”, “Slack”, “Spotify”, “Outlook mail”, “Zoom for video calls”, “Photoshop for your photos in the cloud” and many others?

Too bad enthusiasts like you will help turn that dystopia into reality for the rest of us too.
