I always wanted to learn OCaml because I thought ML was a very nice language. Great how a rewrite of the JS code cleared up a lot blurry implementations. I wonder if F# could be applied here as easily. Funscript and Websharper compile to JS from F#. F# is opensource, and always suffered in published benchmarks, because the slower Mono platform was used due to MS licensing restrictions on using the faster .NET platform. Now that MS is opensourcing so much, and recreating bash in Windows, F# is going to be more applicable I think in operations too.
- mercurial 11y agoLast time I checked, js_of_ocaml looked a lot more mature than Funscript (whose repo doesn't seem to suffer from an excess of activity). I think the big thing missing for OCaml right now is a solid persistence system (preferably something lightweight).
- eggy 11y agoI hadn't noticed the lack of activity, but it works. There's also Websharper, but that's not really just an F# to JS compiler.
