Website and compiler server in Rust

Open maciejhirsz opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

I think one of the issues we might have right now that isn't super obvious is that it's actually hard to see anything working. Having to download, install and compile things just to play around with Ratel can be a lot to ask for, especially when our target is a JS crowd that's used to having online demos of everything.

That being said, because Ratel is insanely performant, putting it on a cheap EC2 with some very basic HTTP server to spit out compiled JS should be trivial. The server itself can be pure Rust and just pull ratel-core as a dependency. A simple S3 website with a try-it-out page that talks to the server should also be pretty easy to do.

Need to finally decide on a domain.
