Ah, I wrote a QuickBasic to x86 on MS-DOS compiler like 7 years ago, i got
it to run a 3D renderer for drawing molecules, one of the molecules was
caffeine.

I also wrote a full JavaScript compiler for a previous job, it was
optimized for real-time operation (the garbage collector is time-limited,
so each time an allocation is performed it does a little garbage
collection). It also supported generators.
