He is not unkown for me
I started time ago to look at tcc

Also his calculations about Pi was (at that time) quite relevant.

Hi,

 This PC emulator is written in Javascript.

[...]

so it's only a matter of time when TeX runs in the browser. I don't know how/if 
it is possible to access local files, but that should be doable (dropbox,...)

This emulates a pc with 20 bogomips and 30MB RAM.
It's probably slower than the machine DEK used for development of TeX78. :-)

FWIW, it runs faster of Jaeger Monkey (Firefox 4) than it does on V8
(Chrome). Shouldn't the bogomips be relative to the performance of the
processing layer?
