Thanks Greg, interesting thought. It would work the other way around, but it'd be easy enough to set up a node server to run the javascript. There's no IO allowed or any other blocking operations so I can make this all automatic. Still, that's another moving part I'd just as soon not have.
Strange there's no JavaScript embedding in GHC, or there doesn't seem to be.
