Sentient.compile

The ‘compile’ function compiles a program to machine code:

var program = Sentient.compile("a = 123; expose a;");

Programs need to be compiled before they can be run. Where possible, it is better to pre-compile programs offline using the command-line interface, but you can use the ‘compile’ function shown above if you need to compile in a browser.

Callback

Sentient programs can be compiled asynchronously:

Sentient.compile("a = 123; expose a;", function (program) {
  // ...
});

The callback function will be called once the program has finished compiling. For longer programs that take a while to compile, it is recommended that you use a callback.
