I mean, the super gnarly thing here is eventually emulating an MMU in JS, right?
Like, this almost gets us back to the nastiness of segmented memory models--you end up having the 32-bit addressable typed array as the "physical" memory, and then has the VMMU (virtual memory-management unit?) handle mapping from a virtual address (maybe a string?) to one of the physical addresses, and handling pagefaults.
Actually, that sounds kind of sexy, if anyone wants to bullshit on a PoC hack, shoot me an email.
