boost python is kinda awful, in that trivial-looking C++ files that use it can gobble up a half a gig of RAM when compiling. but really all of boost is awful that way.
I forgot about this little website "app" I wrote a few years ago to play with javascript. Does what it says on the tin, but it requires that you either allow access to your browser's location API, or to a service commonly blocked by adblockers (in easylist) so just be aware of that.
