The "DOM Interaction" and "DOM Manipulation" sections just show imperative code. So how is this a fundamental improvement over using jQuery? Especially for a language that markets itself as "seriously functional", it feels like a big step backward. I can't see what benefit this actually brings except being easier for OCaml developers to write web apps with. And even then they'd probably have no trouble learning TypeScript which doesn't need a bridge since it's a strict superset of JS.
