I thought the demo might be nicer if it used web workers
to parse the grammar in the background. That way it doesn't
block the DOM, so it's a bit smoother.
Additionally, since we're not blocking the DOM, we can just
automatically re-parse the file as the user types. I set a
debounce of 700ms so that it doesn't fire too frequently. I also
removed the "Generate" button entirely, and set it up so there's a little
"Parsing..." message while it's parsing. I also made to sure to do
a fallback if web workers aren't supported in the browser (and I tested
that it works).
You can try a demo here.
