IIRC I believe tailspin was based partly off the Narcissus codebase. I think MetaES is better because it gives you a debugger whereas Narcissus isn't pausable (last I checked). Additionally MetaES is written in plain ES5, which I thin

I think there's definitely value in this kind of JavaScript-in-JavaScript type of dev utility. The main advantage is cross-browser dev utilities - which brings us closer to a cross-browser dev environment. Browsers have historically o

Yeah, it seemed designed for educational examples, and worked within in a VM. But I couldn't find a way to easily interop with the external JavaScript environment. It was well-tested though and passed the vast majority of test262. Me

Reminds me of https://github.com/int3/metajs I like this kind of stuff. A particularly interesting take on this is tailspin, although the repo appears have been taken down: https://github.com/wthimbleby

There are a lot of ways that you can still be easily tracked in incognito mode such as browser fingerprints, supercookies, and WebRTC to name a few.

I wonder if web-of-trust SSL is the right way to solve this.

You can do it now without a transpiler if you set harmony flags in Chrome/Node and use yield+co. (And just use a transpiler for deployment.)

One approach to countering sock-puppetry as a general problem is with increased transparency. Personally, I think lobste.rs' notion of a user tree is a step in the right direction: https://lobste.rs/u

There are a number of JS-in-JS stepping interpreters posted in this thread, one of which I've worked on :) For people who like this sort of thing, I think tailspin [1] is a particularly interesting example, since it supports reversibl

There is an interesting area of computer science called [inductive programming]( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_programming ) dedicated to this sort of thing, though in a slightly different way than shown in this

One improvement that this has over most of the "conventional" reversible debuggers mentioned in the comments is the ability to instantly see the effect of your change over time. For example, with Mario example, after jumping up a

With that style of view, I suppose it's probably pretty easy to adapt Mithril to support server-side rendering.

Pretty interesting! I did something similar with UI code recently ( https://github.com/omphalos/earhorn ), although with the goal of runtime variable inspection instead of performance tracing. JavaScript makes instrume

FWIW you can don't need VS for that - you can do this in Chrome by itself with the recent workspaces feature. Worth checking out.

Maybe there is one an I'm just missing it, but I'd love to see an OWIN-based benchmark in that list.
