Awesome!

I thought about it a little more and I don't think there should be an issue. This project is a compiler, not a language – Go is the language. It's analogous to Javascript and Babel.

Weird, I thought I deleted that comment.

Yeah, I don't actually think it will be a problem in practice. (And anyway I refer to my interpreter as "Joypy".)

It was sort of a knee-jerk reaction to seeing the name.

BTW, awesome idea and project! I hope it gets traction (at least until WASM "hits", eh?)
