I was delighted to run across this today. I've seen Linux in Javascript before, but this is an impressively fast implementation. A few of the highlights:

* Framebuffer (and SCUMMVM: Monkey Island runs)

* C compiler

* Graphical browser and network support (via Websockets to a droplet)

* asm.js core (I get around 60 MIPS on my laptop)
