Elixir in the Browser
summary
Elixirscript compiles Elixir AST into ES2015 JavaScript and ships a JS runtime that implements atoms via Symbol.for, lists→arrays, tuples as a Tuple class and a custom pattern matcher (replacing the slow forked funy). Demos show a React canvas app using an Agent to reproduce Redux semantics and a working React Native hello world. Compiler speed improves by avoiding a JSON round trip to escodegen (previous builds took ~20s). Missing: bitstring pattern matching, full macro and protocol support, processes.
