I keep hoping this will result in a new wave for the old demo scene, for those of you old enough to remember the era of BBS logins and tiny demo apps.

And yes, I know there's still a whole youtube/MP4 scene around demos, but I feel like there's something similar to the old spirit of "hacking pitiful 386 boxes in 100kb of space" when you're trying to do it in "a pitiful web browser element using a ridiculous programming language."

"a pitiful web browser element using a ridiculous programming language."

You forgot to mention that the memory issue is on the come back too ;p

Let's not forget the limiting factor of bandwidth which is also a big issue for a lot of games (texture loading).

Ridiculous programming language? Far from it. JavaScript is a fantastic language once you get to know it a little better.

Its overly verbose, doesn't allow you to override operators and doesn't even have proper types.

Not exactly my favorite language.

JavaScript supports dynamic typing, functional programming and prototypal inheritance. IMO, these are great tools for creating games!

The site appears to be unresponsive.

It's working fine for me? What browser are you using?
