A JavaScript backend for OCaml focused on smooth integration and clean generated code.
Please see the documentation site.
See CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Thanks to the OCaml team, obviously, without such a beautiful yet practical language, this backend would not exist
- Thanks to ninja-build, BuckleScript also comes with a blazing fast build tool on top of it,
ninjais a truly well engineered scalable build tool - Thanks to Bloomberg! This project began at Bloomberg and was published in 2016; without the support of Bloomberg, it would not have happened. Now that the project has grown and developed its own community, it has moved to its own GitHub organization.

BuckleScript builds on parts of js_of_ocaml:
jscomp/core/js_dump.ml(pretty printer)
BuckleScript builds on parts of OCaml:
These modules were adapted from ocaml/bytecomp/simplif.ml for
JavaScript specific optimization purposes.
jscomp/main/js_main.ml is adapted from ocaml/driver/main.ml. It is the main entry
point of the underlying compiler.
jscomp/stdlib-* is copied from ocaml/stdlib. It is compiled to JavaScript and
included with BuckleScript.
jscomp/test is based on ocaml/testsuite.
BuckleScript unit test builds on parts of OUnit
jscomp/ounitis adapted from ounit, the unit test utilities are only used for dev purpose, they are not required for distribution
