My understanding of Elisp as web extension language is nothing close to compiling Elisp to Javascript. This brings little advantage of Elisp — roughly summarized as “a reflexive programming environment. We lose the ability to dynamically and interactively extending the program if we have to run compilation/translation on Elisp to get JS and then feed to the Webkit. > it suggests the idea of a web site that people > interact with through a particular Emacs Lisp program. Is that what > you mean? Does this mean basically a website serving Emacs Lisp program? That’s good, or more conservatively, serving HTML documents with embedded Emacs Lisp code (basically as a replacement for JS), so while the website can have UI designed for Emacs, when user access it from other browser/program they still get the contents.
