I clicked on this fearing it was a "256 bytes of JS" (plus X GB of browser), and was pleasantly surprised it was actually 256 bytes.

Had a similar thought. In theory, you're right, though in practice today it's "256 bytes of binary plus X MB of DOS emulator".

Why is that bad? If the bytes could easily run within the same constraint in another env/language why the hate?
I am with u on the excessive ram of browsers. It is insane. Still, it is one of the most portal and easy ways to share something. Heck, u can run a dos emulator in your browser.
