This is insanely cool! I really want to know how programmes like Vim are running under the hood, is this emulation? Either way, massive congrats on an awesome fun project.

Thanks! In the case of Vim.js and many other apps, they are ports via Emscripten which converts the native source code to run in WebAssembly.
Ooh, I didn't know about emscripten but that's insanely powerful!
Again, kudos for running this stuff natively in the browser, it's absolutely insane and I'm definitely gonna snoop through the source code later!!
