If you combined this with JIT compilation and a macro system you could make a pretty nice performant browser-ready lisp that produces small code.
The demo page is great. Really nice to see such rich and fun examples.
It's crazy that even the simplest Hello World translates to 1191 lines of WebAssembly text format (without comments and empty lines). Compare it to only 18 lines with AssemblyScript: https://github.com/torch2424/wasm-by-example/blob/master/exa...

Is this pronounced Wax-a-lot-l or Wax-o-lowt?
In Nahuatl it would be “wa-sha-lot” iirc. The l is silent when the end of the word ends in “tl” and x is a “sh” sound.
That's what I was trying to reference, but I left the X in the English "Wax" [wax][alotl].
I am very curious what the author intended though

I am assuming wæksəlɒtəl, that's how most pronounce the animal

Fun fact, x is an sh sound because that's how it was in medieval Spanish around the time Spaniards got there and wrote down the words. Around this same time is when the Old Spanish sh sound was shifting to the value it has in the word México and later a spelling reform changed it to J or g before i and e (except eg. in a bunch of mexican place names which retrained old spelling)
I believe in other Iberian languages such as Portuguese, Catalan and Basque, the sh sound is spelled with X.

Yes, see wikipedia:

I read it as "wax - o - lotool". A little difficult to pronounce in any case.
