Could perlito compile exiftool to javascript?

[cloudtracer]

How much effort would be needed to compile a large project like exiftool? Are there any good resources/tutorials for converting with perlito?

It is quite some work, because Perlito5 is still missing some important features:

• porting the modules that depend on C code, such as Archive::Zip, Win32::API.
• implementing %SIG.
• implementing "require" - Perlito5-Java doesn't have require() yet.

Also porting a large project will probably trigger bugs in Perlito, which will need to be fixed.

The reference documentation is README-perlito5-Java.md and README-perlito5-JavaScript.md in https://github.com/fglock/Perlito.

Cool thanks for the response, I know its somewhat off topic. I didn't even notice the Win32 APIs but it looks like that might be limited to IO functionality and not the parsing logic.
