I had a (very) quick glance at that; it entails a fairly large library
that has to get loaded. It still comes down to "the only way to
improve this is to dish out a huge helping of .js to everyone who
comes", which imho is unideal.

That said, though, my context for this job was "tiny thing, just do
the same as you're doing on the back-end". For something larger, I may
well give Pyjamas a whirl.
