I don't quite understand what's going on in the REPL. Things work fine when executed from file:

➜  echo "require('sass.js'); console.log('hello');" > index.js && node index.js
hello

I'm a bit lost why in the REPL the error 6439624 (type Number) is being thrown. The only reference google yields is this comment - so I suspect that somehow crypto isn't available in a way emscripten expects.

Since you're bringing the REPL into the mix… any idea what might be going wrong here?
