The github "electron" cross platform app framework looks pretty slick upon 
first inspection (chrome / v8 / node.js /  javascript, llvm)  

However, last time I checked, the javascript numerical libraries i've 
looked at are alpha quality at best.  

Since julia is also LLVM based, would it be possible to somehow create 
numeric libraries /  code in Julia, and "export" (emscripten?)  asm.js 
"pure" javascript numerical code that could be "linked" to code in the 
electron framework, since that would be a possibly easy way to create cross 
platform apps (linux, mac, windows, android) with high quality numerics?  I 
would be more interested in correctness than raw speed, although I've been 
impressed by V8 / asm.js benchmarks I've seen. 

Thanks
