Ask HN: WASM Terminal Emulator Status?

1 pointandrewfromx4 comments

In theory, could one "port all of linux" and create a terminal that runs in a browser and uses localstorage as the hard drive with ls and more and cat, vim etc. commands that all work? (Like xterm.js but real)

How far could you take this? Could I get the entire golang toolchain to work and compile a simple main.go program from within this WasmOS terminal?

tmpfs 24.4M 0 24.4M 0% /dev/shm

is that 8.9M mine? from localstorage??

Maybe have a look at https://github.com/ktock/container2wasm, it most likely could boot into a customized container with all golang tools installed.
