Yeah, I think that’s typically something that people choosing to use

OK.

First it needs to be fixed within the next few weeks because it fails to
compile even simple expressions (see ‘ecmascript.test’). But maybe
that’s on Andy’s to-do list? :-)
Then my guess is that it mostly needs applications and use cases, which
in turn may lead to specific requirements such as additional libraries.
