Agreed, Jart's work is jaw-droppingly incredible, on the order of Fabrice Bellard's achievements.
However, I don't see "I wish I was born like this" -- their works encourages me to think and do lots of crazy shit. My previous limitations were just a lack of imagination and creativity.
SectorLISP also encourages the "do anything" viewpoint. The original version was published even though way larger than a sector. Other people contributed, sometimes only by publishing a related project (SectorFORTH). By having an idea and publishing something Justine created something unique.
Lastly the above page shows the "run program and watch its memory in realtime" technique, which is incredible in itself. The tool is called Blinkenlights

It's a nice story about how sometimes the best way to ultimately succeed is to not be afraid to admit when something was tried and failed. By publishing SectorLISP in an unfinished state, I attracted a lot of smart people to the problem. Now that it's complete we can look back and say we did it.
