[Mono-dev] Fwd: javascript compiler for Moonlight.

[Steve Bjorg]

Hi Olivier,

I've been looking for a parser to use in our wiki software, but all  
the ones I have found (lua, boo, ...) didn't quite fit for different  
reasons.  Will your parser expose the AST so that it can plugged into  
a custom compilation/execution environment?
