I like it! I gather now you can compile Elm in the browser? It allows many things, similarly as F# with Fable, which allows to compile F# code in browser without a server.
Ability to compile code in browser allows to do sandboxes, or tools that otherwise would require a server.

I think the project is a while off of being properly usable. I think it's mostly written with Node in mind, but shouldn't be too difficult to swap out the Fs bits for browser-specific code.

As pd-andy says, it's not finished yet, but yes you're right, that's one of the things it will enable: interpreting Elm code from within Elm - an eval function of sorts.
