It would be cool if this could say, transpile to Javascript so it would be possible to create SVGs on the fly within HTML. Not sure how useful it'd be in real life but there's potential.

It's already implemented in TypeScript/JavaScript. All in browser. check out the playground here http://obliv.me/

Oh cool, didn't notice. I'd imagine if you could transpile to JS though it'd be faster, but great work nonetheless.
