The point was my customers don't need apps - the upgrade to a responsive
design would scrap probably 90% of current apps?

Andrea - that is just the sort of insight I was hoping for. I've spotted
a few options now I'm thinking about this the other way around. I'm not
sure that the 'compile' approach will fit well with the real time work
flow? But php.js has flagged up the use of conversion to AST trees which
I think was something being discussed internally for PHP as well?

My original post my have appeared off topic, but I knew there was
something dovetailing in with other php discussions - just could not
remember what. It's just a pity that what is available seems still very
much work in progress and usage in some cases is not obvious.
