Compile to JS langs? #186

Closed Camto closed 5 years ago

Camto commented 5 years ago

Would it be easy/interesting/a good idea to add extra compile to JS languages to SCRIPT-8? An example would be some kind of Lisp, which still doesn't have a fantasy console. Would work with the functional, pure approach here. Maybe even TypeScript.

lisp would definitely be interesting. The compile part would have to happen before the code gets evaluated, so it can be JS sent to the update/draw loop. I'm not opposed - interesting idea for sure.

Closing this since I've decided to stick with JS.
