Did the upgrade to WAjic for generating JS code ever happen? #8

Hi there! After crunching intensely for a few weeks on WAjic and not getting much of a response I had to stop thinking about JavaScript and WASM for a while :-) I'm really happy you're bringing this up, at least some people looked at it. I think it's a cool approach!

I also really like how simple the WebAssembly platform is in ZillaLib. So I was a bit torn about how to integrate WAjic. It would mean to move the scripting language used for assisting the build system from Python to Node.js. I don't want to just add WAjic to it and end up requiring both Python and Node.js to be set up (alongside clang) just for building WebAssembly. And I'd end up copying the WAjic parts into the ZillaLib repository because otherwise that would be another external dependency.

But this post has at least made me think about it again, maybe some day :-) Thanks
