That's a lot of languages!

This probably runs the OS in a server

No, it's emulated in the browser. That's probably why it's so slow.

this is amazing!

Nice

This does not use virtualization, but rather pure emulation. If anything, that makes it an even more incredible feat.

I dare you to grab an x86 copy of Slax, boot it on v86 with 1280mb ram, open Chromium on it, take a screenshot in your browser of sending a forum post in mobile view of Scratch (use /login to sign in) in v86, and upload the screenshot from your device to Scratch, adding it to another forum post. On an iPad, if possible.

I found v86, Chiroyce made it famous. Ubuntu 10 works with 1gb ram, btw. I booted it once on a vdi, but screenshots are gone.

Windows 7 also works, you can find the GitHub issue by the one who found it.

Rust is good for compiling to wasm. Even ruffle.rs uses it for the Flash player emulator. I wonder how the C part of it compiles though…
