Description

Because CLJS is self-hosted (you can compile CLJS code using CLJS -- no JVM required), it is possible to have a webpage that runs its own REPL. Also, it is possible to embed Quil sketches in a webpage. So it should be possible to have a webpage with a REPL next to the Quil canvas that it controls.

The [Quil homepage](http://quil.info/) contains examples of sketches that run. You can [edit and run your own sketches online](http://quil.info/sketches/create), too.

The Quil creator has also written about understanding the CLJS self-hosting features:
