Downloadable Compiler
Some of you have asked for a downloadable compiler.
We didn't expect the demand for it so soon, but we're working on a solution to this problem. Please expect something within the next few days. We'll announce it here on the blog.

Pushing networked persistence into the language definition is one of the most interesting ideas I've seen -- can you blog a bit about your thinking here?
In response to Julian Morrison:
We should and will publish a server API. For now the protocol itself
is a bit dodgy. Michael Greenberg has some good ideas on how to fix
the protocol and simultaneously make it possible to actually program
with a model. (Brief and probably incomprehensible explanation: right
now it's tricky to have a true client-side model, in the MVC sense of
the word. The only true model is the DOM. That's okay most of the
time, but sometimes you'll want to elevate the level of discourse.)
So, once Michael's done with his work, we'll probably have a much
better API in place that would then be worth publishing and that
others can feel good about supporting.
Kim Burchett pointed us to Opera's
event
streaming API. So another direction is for Flapjax to support
such APIs when they become more standard.
I've posted some comments about networked persistence in a separate entry. Neel, if this isn't what you were asking about, please comment.
