[Lift] Re: [scala] typed browser scripting languages?
Lifted, Scalads and Lasses, Today i recalled that the skydeck http://skydeck.com/ folks had done an OCaml - JS compiler http://code.google.com/p/ocamljs/ and then dogfooded for their offerings. i've not played with it, myself, but the skydeck site is pretty nifty.

Watch out if you don't need very much JavaScript code, as even the smallest haxe script will generate a substantial amount of boilerplate JS. I believe it's written in ocaml, so you may have some luck using it to pragmatically gen your JS, though I doubt there's much of a translation facility. It's a pretty clean language by itself. Very close to ECMAScript. Its type inference is no Scala, but does a good job in the majority of cases. Packages. Most OO constructs. First class functions. -Mark -- L.G.

Mark, Many thanks for this feedback. Do you know of any connection between the HaXe codebase and the skydeck folks' ocamljs?
