I think many of us here don't get paid by W2 or by 1099. We are compensated in different ways which don't require those types of filings (e.g. K1), in which case we do need to fill out forms.

You have to use the command-line `emcc` tool to do this. I'm asking if that tool can be eliminated from the workflow. The ideal solution would be an editor (like codemirror or ace) with a compile+run button that would compile the code down
