For a moment I thought someone did a port of Linux to wasm, but this is actually x86_64 Linux in a wasm qemu (with JIT, granted, which I suppose blurs the line). That's probably a lot more practical.

I'm stoked about the idea of using this for code review / bug reproduction / tutorials / demos. Obviously nix already gives you the reproducibility side of things, but running on any host system with zero setup and robust sandboxing should really improve its practical usefulness. Native nix doesn't give you "try this software by clicking a link and it works without installing anything", nor " here's some completely untrusted code someone wants you to run, and that's ~fine because it's in a browser tab".
The entire site reeks of Claudisms and I doubt that the author even cares or knows what they are doing. The GitHub put me off immediately.
It's quite ridiculous to see such slop here and we are just going to see more of this.
