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!!
