Kragen's Bicicleta now all in Javascript

Prehistory: https://github.com/darius/ychacks/tree/master/bicicleta Still to port over: parts of https://github.com/darius/bicicleta.py

Quick start

Run make and open test.html. Click Run to try things.

Or open the JS console and run bench().

TO DO

(I'm not promising any of this now...)

• improve number formatting: the usual difference from Python's is just more digits of precision, which is only a nuisance for comparing outputs; but also we get stuff like "16.0" instead of "16". Unfortunately the built-in number.toPrecision() doesn't help.
• more testing/benchmarks
• the Python interpreter got a good speedup by representing environments as arrays (after statically analyzing scopes) -- i.e. a 'display' environment. Try this for JS too if it seems worthwhile.
• port the compiler
