If that isn't whacky enough, I already started a thread - in lynx-dev
"html5 canvas support, anyone?"

I was talking about implementing lynx (a text-mode web browser) in JavaScript.
Which would mean that you could implement a web browser in html5, if you were so inclined =)

It then occurred to me that a QWidget implementation for text consoles was entirely do-able,
which kinda opens up the door to making Qt/JavaScript a real alternative to (ba)sh scripting.

But to do that properly, it would need to have OS/FS capabilities on a par with Python.
More plugins?
