I like observables for really allowing me to understanding what is happening with the data and with concept visualization, but at some point I need to get back to writing Javascript for specific Web Applications. I know from Tom MacWright that the plan is to be able to export an observable as pure Javascript. Any thoughts from the community? Is this something you really want, or is it not very important (Observables are fine on their own) I would really like to be able to export the awesome Observables into Javascript so that I can work with either platform. I think it would strengthen the importance of the Observable as a Javascript teaching tool. Presently it is easy to take a Javascript page and make it into an observable, but the other direction is fairly difficult to do. ---
