Re:I ported LaTeX to Javascript

A much more mature LaTeX JavaScript interpreter is MathJax [1].
The projects fill somewhat different niches, however. MathJax's ideal use case is adding math support to a CMS like a blog or wiki. This project looks like it's better for offering a Web-based LaTeX-to-PDF compilation service for articles with 100% compatibility with the original implementation.
Also, this project is a great resume-builder if the author is looking for a job that involves wrangling build systems or cross-compiling to JavaScript!
