Danny, this is very encouraging for those of us who'd like to do the 
client-side JS-ish behavior of our apps in Racket, just like the HTML 
and the server side.  Perhaps mobile device apps too.

Not only should this give increased utility and longevity to current 
Racket developers, but I can see it attracting a bunch of new people to 
Racket.

Keep up the excellent work on Whalesong.

And thanks to Jens for this compelling demo.  Perhaps other people are 
ready to make bindings for their favorite JS libraries, and see how that 
goes.
