That moment when Hello World worked

Well, this has been a long time coming. I want to make this new outliner a really excellent tool for code-writing.
Largely because I want the code to run on the outliner itself. We had this working very nicely in Frontier. This will allow me to do a lot more of my work in this space. This is good. ;-)
So I added a new nodetype -- code -- and when it sees a node with that type, it renders it as JavaScript, not HTML. It's very lightweight. Doesn't do any interpretation, just writes the characters out, nicely indented with tabs.
Here's the
file containing Hello World.
This is the one-liner I ran in the browser, console:
runScriptFromUrl ("http://liveblog.co/users/davewiner/2015/04/29/helloword.js")
And here's a
screen shot of the result.
Key point, those files can be included in generated web pages with <script> tags. And we can certainly edit templates in the outliner. So we are on the way to having it all. ;-)
