Comment on Javascript TRS-80 Performance: Firefox, IE9 still slow

Comments

I like this because it clearly shows just how horribly bad web technologies really are. I used to say the web turned your computer into an IBM 3070 with a 386 under the hood.

Now I'll say the web turns your computer into an IBM 3070 with a TRS-80 under the hood.

That's also because it's an emulator. A TRS-80 surely couldn't emulate itself at full speed.

Or into a NES? http://benfirshman.com/projects/jsnes/

Slightly more impressive but yes, it's strange we all get so excited about performance improvements that can only be called less mediocre than the previous iteration.
