ElixirScript 
The goal is to convert a subset (or full set) of Elixir code to JavaScript, providing the ability to write JavaScript in Elixir. This is done by taking the Elixir AST and converting it into JavaScript AST and then to JavaScript code. This is done using the Elixir-ESTree library.
Requirements
- Elixir
- Node (only for development)

Development
Clone the repo
git clone git@github.com:bryanjos/elixirscript.git
Get dependencies
mix deps.get
yarn
Create Elixir.Bootstrap.js
yarn build
Compile
mix compile
Test
mix test
yarn test
Build
MIX_ENV=prod mix do clean, compile, dist
This will build a tarball in the dist folder.
By default the escript built will look into the folder above it for the
core JavaScript files needed for ElixirScript. To change the location,
update the lib_path config variable in the :elixir_script config block
to the path to look in and then do a clean build.
