This is a very cool idea.  It's quite fascinating to view the
Javascript "machine code" for a complete CPython interpreter.

I'm sure with a little work you'll be able to improve its performance,
but I think "comparably to C" is going to be a tall order.

If you can get this to work reasonably well, and manage to get it
successfully deployed it somewhere, I'd recommend petitioning to have
this be considered an official platform.
