Don't ask me where this idea came from. But a couple of years ago I had this crazy idea of writing a HTML to Javascript compiler. I went off it for a bit, but just started hacking back on it again and have something that actually works (demos and all). It's inspired a little by the early days of my development career writing Coldfusion.

Would you use this to build production apps? You'd probably be as crazy as I am for making this if you did, but still.

A fun little crazy experiment.
