Testing the build and running the demo

[vrescobar]

Hello,

I wanted to try this implementation to evaluate how it would be a practical use of ShenScript. And I wanted to try the demo advertised on the main page, but it seems to fail:

$ brew install webpack
$ npm start
> ShenScript@0.4.0 start /Users/vresko/projects/ShenScript
> webpack-cli --watch

webpack is watching the files…

Unfortunately I am not that skilled with shen to debug that just myself. Any assistance to get to a demo page with an example is running would be great.

Seems that I forgot to run the mandatory npm install, my bad. I also saw that in order to run the demo page the main index.html has to be served with an external server.

Then it just prints environment created in 25536ms. (that was a modern laptop, chrome browser).

I hope there was a way to speed up this load time to something more practical. Any ideas?
