The fundamental goal of Phix is to make debugging easier, a whole subject area that does not seem to get the attention it deserves, despite several studies finding that most programmers actually spend between 70 and 90% of their time debugging. (Most of us tend to think that getting just-written code to work is somehow not debugging, but that bloke with a clipboard stood behind you would disagree.)
 
Since 1.0.0 you can also run (many/most) Phix programs in a browser, by using pwa/p2js (as included in the distro) to transpile the program to JavaScript (plus a bit of standard HTML and CSS). If you see "with javascript_semantics" it means the program has been tested and works fine, both on the (Windows/Linux) desktop and in a browser, but obviously that won't be present on any rosettacode entries that (for instance) use the local file system, such(although asunix_dict() anyhas thatbeen readadded to avoid reading unixdict.txt).
