Fabrice Bellard: QEMU, FFMPEG & more!

Contents

Fabrice Bellard is one of the more interesting programmers active these days. He is responsible for quite an impressive list of applications, including:

  • QuickJS: a tiny Javascript engine
  • QEMU: the widely used emulator
  • TinyGL: a small subset of OpenGL
  • PC Emulator: an entire PC emulator that runs in a browser
  • FFMPEG: the very popular media library for decoding and encoding video

and many others. Here is Alpine Linux running within a browser using the jslinux VM by Fabrice:

Fabrice has also written a number of C compilers in addition to the projects listed above.

I would recommend visiting his page, here, and keeping up with his work.
