Aeon is now alive and is beginning to take shape. Bear witness to the dawn of the new age ;)

Does this just interpret Java script, or is it actually running some form of Java?

JavaScript is not related to Java at all beyond the name.

Quasar, you're the man. Don't stop being awesome. This is wonderful news to come home to from a long day at work. :)

And the official name is ECMAScript anyway. JavaScript is just a commercial name because Java was super-popular and very buzzwordy at the time.

I still wonder if you can use this as some kind of virtual machine. Specifically, I'm interested if you can do some scientific simulations (such as Doom monster genetics) with extensive Aeon scripting.
