Could a bitcoin client be done in javascript, using WebGL to access the GPU for processing/mining?
{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

Yes.

http://Blockchain.info/wallet and Strongcoin are two Javascript-based wallets that do all the crypto in Javascript on the browser.  http://brainwallet.org/#tx would be such a client too I suppose.  They do send the transaction to a hosted service which then broadcasts the transaction.

As a neat idea, yes that could be (and has been) done.

As a business proposition.  Bad idea.  Read up on ASICs.

I know about ASICs but I was thinking in terms of something comparable to 'Satoshi client'.
