[Pipedream] allow balloon to become a better Node-Webkit / Electron

[bollu]

@polybuildr, there are enough people bitching about electron that we know that it's not well designed. If we can do exactly this much:

1. Integrate webkit to support HTML/CSS
2. Hook into the event listeners to generate balloon events
3. compile this to LLVM IR and dynamically load webkit so that we don't bundle all of chrome with each app

we basically solve all the problems with electron / node-webkit. No one I know of uses these technologies for javascript. They use it because HTML + CSS is a great environment to build UIs with.

Most people dislike JS, hence the whole movement to TypeScript, Flow, Reason, etc. Balloon should be a nice balance, since it is gradually typed, and yet (hopefully) expressive.

Like I said, pipe-dream. But it would be interesting if it works.

That's an interesting idea. I would definitely like to discuss it more, but I would like to defer that until the language progresses a little more and reaches some level of stability.
