This is significant as it's the first time Common Lisp in particular has ever been hosted on it; wasm has a few poor decisions in its design that make it less-than-conducive to being a target for Common Lisp, and a lot of the more interesting implementations require an implementation to already be on the platform for bootstrapping purposes.
My previous attempts using other implementations haven't gone so well, despite throwing a lot of time at it (as an example, I have a fork of Eclipse Common Lisp, a defunct implementation from the 1990s, sitting on my disk with a few hundred lines of changes that I finally got to successfully compile and run a handful of very basic expressions, but it blows up when you try and define anything). In comparison, I was pleasantly surprised by how little I had to do, even though I did end up scrapping loads of lines of my own changes to npt in the process as I got a handle on how to make it work acceptably.
The Emscripten toolchain and I don't get along, partially because I don't like inlining ECMAScript into my C and vice-versa, so it's little more than a neat little demo right now.
You can load slightly more complex programs into it by hijacking the "imp" ECMAScript function every few hundred milliseconds with strings containing complete forms (this is essentially a batch processor, so there's no interactivity that allows it to wait while you decide what the rest of a form should be). Only one at a time, though. It's not that fancy.
If you mess up at all, even just a little error, it will crash. This is by design; I disabled the debugger. It's a giant hack, and the hack I eventually decided on left it impossible to have a debugging experience, with the benefit of getting to use a closer-to-unmodified npt.
This could be more useful, if I spent more time on it, but it's more fun if it's just a demo. I hope you enjoy the toy I made for you.
