abstract 
nitasema is a compiler for a simple interactive fiction specification language based on s-expressions. it generates minimalistic html and very simple javascript with no use of jquery or other external libraries; output file size can easily be in the low kilobytes. it was designed specifically to compete with twine, which generates massive javascript-burdened webapps that only run on modern browsers, has absurd installation requirements, and includes all sorts of bells and whistles that most projects will never need.
you are alone. it is dark. you are likely to be eaten by a grue.
