First it needs to be fixed within the next few weeks because it fails to compile even simple expressions (see =E2=80=98ecmascript.test=E2=80=99). B= ut maybe that=E2=80=99s on Andy=E2=80=99s to-do list? :-) Then my guess is that it mostly needs applications and use cases, which in turn may lead to specific requirements such as additional libraries. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
