WebCC: A Monkey Compiler that Runs in your Browser

Just a heads up, I released an article detailing my port of Monkey's compiler to web browsers. Obviously, a lot of the groundwork was already there, so most of your enjoyment is thanks to Mark.

Still, it was a fun distraction, and could be a great way to introduce people to Monkey. If you're interested in trying it out, you can use it here.

My thread on Monkey's forums can be found here.

Great work and great write-up.

I did a similar thing using a Linux back-end server to build from a HTML5/Ace.js editor frontend, and it worked really well, but I was never keen on exposing it to the inevitable abuse of the public internet!

I had a go at converting trans to JS with Emscripten, but ran into compile problems with it, besides of course the matter of the filesystem/OS stuff, so I'm glad someone else has actually done this!
