Ah, I see. Then how p2js provide its RTL? Is it also hand-crafted? That's a
lot of works!

I hope this will help pas2js to become an advance pascal to javascript
compiler. This will help us creating a full web application using pascal
from end to end. And also because I simply hate to learn JavaScript. It's a
mess. :D

By the way, it seems almost impossible to compile p2js on linux or osx.
p2js was written to only target Windows, although it's using FPC. This is
very unfortunate. :(
