Why the dependency on node?

  The obvious reason would be that to make it work nicely as a compiler, they wanted to make it pull in files and compile them. It shouldn't be terribly difficult, though, to patch it and make it compile in-browser like CoffeeScript does with special script tags.

    According to the docs it's pretty close to that already: http://lispyscript.com/docs/#browser http://lispyscript.com/docs/#browser You'd just need to make it find the special script tags and eval them. EDIT: Yeah actually it's already in there: https://github.com/santoshrajan/lispyscript/blob/master/src/browser.ls#L34 https://github.com/santoshrajan/lispyscript/blob/master/src/...

      Actually, it turns out it's already implemented: https://github.com/santoshrajan/lispyscript/blob/da6602126eb0707c886c88f6ef6627f7c3882dec/src/browser.ls https://github.com/santoshrajan/lispyscript/blob/da6602126eb... So any script with type "application/lispyscript" will automatically be parsed and run. The only requirements appear to be RequireJS and underscore.
