It was a somewhat jokey "history from the future" take about how hardware eventually became stabilized courtesy of implenting Javascript in the CPU to expose WASM directly, and Javascript had become the new C.
It's called "The Birth and Death of JavaScript" by Gary Bernhardt of Destroy All Software, at PyCon 2014. Here's a recording. WebAssembly did not exist at the time; the talk was about WASM's...

Seems we're on track for that timeline though.
It's called "The Birth and Death of JavaScript" by Gary Bernhardt of Destroy All Software, at PyCon 2014.
Here's a recording.
WebAssembly did not exist at the time; the talk was about WASM's precursor, Asm.js.
Thank you! I had forgotten about Asm.js and that was probably half my problem.
The important takeaway is Zig will NOT clean up and continuously maintain another compiler in translated C.... Thank goodness.
