So where do things stand on this concept of Julia and Javascript interaction?
Stefan in this thread hints at its potential if it were possible to use LLVM to compile itself. That seems to have been done (LLVM.js) and the thread here<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/julia-users/ht74iv40zD0/iqV8jPFh4b8J>refers to that. So I'm confused. On the one hand, I have Javascript and the browser, _the_ most common GUI on the planet. And JS does all the whiz bang graphics you could want, people seem to be making really decent IDE's with it, it's totally web compatible and complete with nodejs giving file access and server functionality. But JS/Node sucks at number crunching. On the other hand I have Julia, pretty much my go to replacement for Matlab (I've tried Octave, Scilab, etc. and Julia is _it_ ). And yet, there is still really no great GUI or graphics. I think: a) why can't Julia be the number crunching engine that Javascript lacks, and JS the foundation for the graphics and GUI Julia lacks; or b) could there be a Julia.js in the same way that Processing <http://www.processing.org>has ProcessingJS <http://www.processingjs.org>. So why can't either or both of those things happen? I see this <http://acko.net/tag/mathbox/>and think Julia should be the engine driving that train.
