Question: Convert WebIDL -> Javascript

[amilajack]

Does webidl2 support converting WebIDL definitions to javascript? WebIDL to planned to do this so I'm wondering if webidl2 does.

WebIDL.js is just the WebIDL parser, while WebIDL to JS builds on top of it do the the actual implementation. However, I wasn't able to convince enough folks that this was of value, so I stopped working on the project.

We can restart webidl.js if we can find people to work on it - I still think it's it's of great value, particularly for prototyping in a browser agnostic manner. However, as Mozilla has JS bindings for WebIDL, it's possible to prototype some WebIDL in the browser without needing projects like the WebIDL.js.

Hope that makes sense!
