When I did bit of Google-ing for server-side Javascript I found this
http://www.iwriteiam.nl/Ha_BF.html - it’s a complete Turing machine programming language with 8 commands. There’s an Apache module for it. There’s an IDE with a debugger for it. There’s a procedural version with two additional commands. There’s a PHP interpreter for it. There are several Javascript interpreters. Some people just have too much spare time!

Sweet, though not all that advanced from 8086 assembly language, which some of us had to use to get anything useful on the screen with C back in the day.
I particularly like the 99 Bottles of Beer implementation.

Yeah, that’s one reason why this tickled my fancy; I used to write assembly language utilities for my state-of-the-art Amstraad 8086; it let you access the free "upper" memory above the usual 512K user memory space.

I’m too young to have programmed a coke-machine-sized PDP machine by flipping big physical switches and plugging in large, re-routable wire-covered, circuit boards with that served as control statements and subroutines, but I’ve seen it done.
