View Javascript Output

[davej]

Very minor but it would be nice if there was someway to view the resulting ES6 on the site. I expected the "Try It!" button would let me see what EG code looked like when converted to ES6.

I realise that I can download the lib and compile my own code to see the output myself but it would be nice to have it on the site (ala CoffeeScript).

I guess I could add it somewhere, but the main issue at the moment is that the compiled code can be a bit messy: the compiler introduces temporary variables quite liberally, variable names always get mangled (x -> x$0) for technical reasons. It's not too bad, but it's not super clean, and ideally I'd like to solve these technicalities before making a show of it.

You can technically view the ES5 in the repl if you were to run for example:

fib(match) =
   0 -> 0
   1 -> 1
   n -> fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
fib.to-string()

Caveats being that this is not the ES6 version, and references to $eg$global are a namespacing trick for the repl that you won't find in the code you compile yourself.

Anyway, I'll keep this in mind.
