Can you initialize a kernel with JS?

Of course. Have you not seen the VMs written in JS?

That is a VM running in a web browser. If I was thinking about a joke that was so comically far away from the metal, that’s pretty much what I would use as an example.

This is why it’s very difficult to have conversations. Most programmers really don’t even know how computers work.

Heh, I know plenty about how computers work. You didn't specify what hardware you wanted targeted. Emulated devices are just abstractions.

Here is a real kernel: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7958194

It's so difficult to have conversations with engineers that don't know x86 assembly. They never stop complaining. If only I could NOP them! ;-)
