Excerpts from Anand Patil's message of Fri Oct 07 19:08:43 +0200 2011:
I'm wondering about Ur/Web's suitability as a compilation target for
scripting languages that are used from a web console. As a very simple
example, I'd like to write an Ur/Web web application featuring a text
entry field, in which users can paste Ur programs (perhaps using only
a subset of Ur), which are then compiled and executed. How feasible
would this be?
The only way to run ur dynamically is by
- compiling ur
- invoking ur
using kind of proxying
Not entirely true. The support for protocol plugins makes it possible
to compile shared object files and load them dynamically, in the same
process that initiated compilation. I've done this in unreleased code,
so I know it's possible. :)
The whole approach is likely to be unappealing to folks used to
"scripting" environments. The Ur/Web compiler is fundamentally
whole-program, so you won't be able to create natural interaction
between bits of Ur code compiled at different times.
