Sounds like if we make a JS to BF transpiler, then we can complete this with any language that can be transpiled to JS.

Just imagine the applications of this!

The next step would be to make this into an eventual Quine.

I'm not sure if I'm more amazed by how slow that is or how fast it is.

Oh the world we live in: playing minesweeper in a graphical OS running in a javascript x86 emulator.
