Wow. I had no idea that both ffmpeg and qemu was two of the things Bellard created. https://smartbear.com/blog/test-and-monitor/fabrice-bellard-...

He has developed a ton of stuff! What I found particularly impressive is the PC Emulator developed in Javascript which runs Linux within a browser!

https://bellard.org/jslinux/

You can actually run X-Windows, Windows 2000, FreeDOS etc in a browser using this.

His implementation of 4G LTE purely in software is also pretty amazing. https://bellard.org/lte/

His other projects: https://bellard.org/

Incredible is an appropriate word to describe these projects: A self-compiling C compiler in 2048 bytes of C source code.

The wonders of Bellard never cease. Another discovery for me was that he wrote LZEXE in 1989~90 when he was 17. I remember this program from my childhood.
