How are errors handled in your javascript version?

yes, exactly in the same manner you do it with c api

the same glpk api is available in javascript, just load glpk.min.js in a 
web page. Personnaly I use webstorm IDE
http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/

glpk.js can run in a webbrowser AND Node.js, but I made this library to 
use client CPU, I don't think it is interesting to use it in a web 
server because it is glpk.js is not async.
You can still use Node.js as command line program, personnaly I use it 
for debugging.
