Very nice! Any plans to host this online or patch it through socket.io to act as a Node.js command interface? :D

It already has a command-line interface: just use "./nulan". I'm working on getting it to work with shell scripts too.

As for socket.io... well, that's just a JS library, right? And Nulan just compiles to raw JS, so you should be able to interface with it just fine.

As for online hosting... no, not really. I mean, if somebody wants to host it, feel free, but I'd personally wait until it's all nice and polished first.

I mean Node.js gives JavaScript the side effect powers typical of OS processes, while the browser gives JavaScript a UI. With socket.io, it should be very easy to take your browser interface and use it as a command shell. I can help if you'd like. ^_^

I was thinking of something easy and free like GitHub Pages. I understand if you'd like some more polish though.

Alrighty. I'm still not 100% sure how you'd accomplish that, so I wouldn't mind some help.

Well, before I consider any of that, I have a few cool ideas I want to add in first to "nulan.html".
