      Introduction
(or "You must be kidding")
==========================

I'm not 100% sure why I think this might be useful to somebody.  The
idea of editing code directly on github or bitbucket in a web browser
is pretty cool though, and if you're going to do such a thing why not
use the best tools available.  IMO those tools are written in Emacs
Lisp so I would like to use them in the browser.  Maybe with some
HTML5 offline goodness thrown in.

Seeing Ymacs[1] in action[2] was also an inspiration to start this
project as I've had it on my TODO list for several months now.  Emacs
in the browser could be a reality; Ymacs is proof.

What's here?
============

Not much compared to the real thing but it's a decent start for < 1000
lines.

 * parser
   (ints, floats, strings, symbols, lists, quoted expressions)

 * symbol table
   (functions & variables separate)

 * lexical scope

 * expression evaluator

 * simple tagged primitive types
   (string, symbol, primitive, function, number)

 * special forms for defvar, defun, set, setq, and quote

 * eval/apply for atoms, function calls, and a few special forms

 * a few primitive math ops
   (thanks to JS' overloading + works on strings too)

 * 2 horrible print functions
   (JS "pretty" printer & a half-assed Lisp print)
