Is HTML5 really practical?

(Continuing my answer)

For a reload from cache you can

do "location.reload()" as "javascript"

If you mean to load another standalone or reset the current standalone without
reloading the engine:
I now looked into emscripten's module API and can't see a way to replace only
the module.livecodeStandalone which is the VFS containing the stack.

But you can make a mainstack that is only the engine and main scripts and then

• load all you need from substacks and write a reset handler to the mainstack.
• use go stack url (urls use SOP) from that mainstack.
• load script only stacks from a local filesystem

Then the engine is loaded only once.
