I'm not sure either, fork bombs are a thing you could probably do in JavaScript, but I don't know of a thing called an Atomic Bomb in programming? I think if you put lots of atomic operations you've just reinvented single threaded programming but with more overhead

JS is Touring complete. You can write anything in it, including SkyNet or whatever else you can think of that will destroy the world.

I want my world destroyed fast, thank you very much. Do you want them to stop mid-murder to prolong your pain because they've ran out of RAM?

Say no to JS Skynet, embrace C++ Skynet!

I don't disagree.
