So this is a Lisp subset compiler to DCPU-16 written in a lisp that compiles to javascript. Is javascript really becoming the IL now?

It is a very attractive intermediate layer because we can run everything in the browser.

I read "IL" as intermediate language, and I wouldn't say it's the IL here, the compiler just happened to be running as javascript.
