Thanks Peter. What i am keen to get a grip on is how we can interface Livecode exported Javascritp with existing Javascript in a web page. Are we going to be stuck with an isolated blob of all Livecode-Javascript in a page? Or can I make Livecode-Javascript widget that talk to existing pages?
My thought would be if the core Livecode C++ engine has now been refactored so that the language element - separate from all the GUI and even message stuff - and that this bit was easy and fast to get exported - then that would be what we need to create interface independent Javascript libraries - let's say a library that takes some JSON and exports some JSON with the webpage handling all the rest of the interactions? How well will these exported Livecode-Javascript apps play within a web page - what sort of bi-directional communication is being looked at?
