A procession of concrete claims and artifacts: five lines of JS crashes Windows; a browser game engine built from canvas glitches runs today; an attempted 3D engine for the blind stalls on RxJS testing; Node and Web Audio API power spatial sound experiments; a single function becomes both sync and async solved with generator trampolines; a 4 GB heap leak reproduces real GC lessons; CommonJS is shimmed atop ES import; LavaMode uses with, proxies and Endo ideas to give per-package globals for real confinement.
