BESEN is very, very, very  well written but I can't seem to get any
indication how to use it in my project.  I would love FPC to include a
JIT system for JS or Pascal.  IMO, FPC absolutely needs a scripting
FCL going forward.  BESEN seems like the right guy for the job, but I
suspect he's burned out :-(  I think he had memory concerns too.

Does anyone have any BESEN examples that integrated actual FPC units?
It seems like all the samle js units are self contained with no
interface to system or GUI units.

Including JS support on my project would enable people to leverage
exiting "proven" technologies which would make for easier/allowable
for adoption in working groups / houses where selection of language is
restricted to language of the day :-)  Taking this statment and
applying this across the board, it would be an easier sell for
adoption of FPC/Lazarus with JIT support.  Personally, I'm thinking
along the lines of Web RAD down the road...
