No. Aida supports a thick stateful server-centered SPA model (see
Wikipedia [1]) which happens to be more than fast enough to achieve
interaction responses bellow 100ms and therefore unnoticeable to human eye.
Once I flirted with idea to transpile to JS as Amber, SqueakJS and
similar do, but I found no reason for such an effort, well, maybe for
writing web games in the future :)
But I someone is interested, he can make such an add-on to Aida ...
