As it turns out I have a sick fascination with JavaScript and I've gotten to the point where I want to plumb the depths of what's possible with the language. I would be curious to see how easy it would be to do a faithful port of evolver to JavaScript (no C++-to-JavaScript compilation tricks) and test it in the browser.

I actually think that some parts of the engine would become cleaner thanks to the functional trappings of JavaScript versus what's available in C++. Side note: I'm not comfortable with C++11 lambdas, so it might take me some time to allow those in my code.
