Anyone looked at running Julia via webassembly? I keep thinking it'd be awesome to run Jupyter notebooks completely in the browser. Given Julia builds on LLVM, perhaps it wouldn't be that challenging technologically.

Looks like an experimental package exists https://github.com/tshort/ExportWebAssembly.jl

It's also one of the Google Summer of Code projects https://julialang.org/soc/projects/general.html

This is being worked on. Check out this project: https://github.com/Keno/julia-wasm

I think that currently, the Julia intepreter is compiled to Wasm, so LLVM is not yet involved?
