So I wanted to know how much the JavaScript engines have evolved over the years since Netscape was a thing. So I was thinking, what would the most ludicrous and stupid things to try and implement in JavaScript?
How about a 3d engine? How about three? A rasterizer, a ray-marcher, and the almighty ray-tracer!
We will go through how I built, three different 3d engines in JavaScript and the lessons learned.

Awesome to see a fellow demoscener on stage at a serious software development conference! I was active in de demo and tracking scene from 97 to 2001 give or take and I had a blast. I wish I could find the time to get tinkering with stuff like this again. I would be so proud if I could inspire my son to get into it as well! Respect!

It seems I was not the only one who thought of the 8 bit micros scene when thinking of the craziness of JavaScript.

Whaaaat?? No array buffers at all? You crazy man! Lol I think people like us will always have a fondness for vanilla javascript. Javascript wasn't made for the studious types, just the mutable ones who rewrite their own __proto__ lol

so what was the point of this presentation? that javascript has objects and function that can be used?
