HN comment orderI had quite some fun implementing this at a very lovely lake in Sweden, while my colleagues were attending GPCE.
This is awesome, great job! How long before we can write ShareLaTeX in ShareLaTeX? ;) I once got as far as writing and http server that used the flexibility of TeX macros to turn headers like 'content-length:' into TeX commands that recorded their value, and then processed the incoming request as if it were TeX code. It wasn't pretty...
That reminds me of this, a slightly bigger AVR emulating an ARM SoC running Linux: http://dmitry.gr/index.php?r=05.Projects&proj=07.+Linux+on+8... Emulate that system instead, and now you can theoretically boot a Linux system inside of TeX.
