Hello! This is the main directory for BuckleScript. jscomp is just a name that mirrors OCaml's own bytecomp and asmcomp (bytecode compilation and native compilation logic respectively). For building it, please see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Extra info:

Rebuilding the browser-based playground

Get js_of_ocaml from the normal switch

opam switch 4.02.3
eval `opam config env`
opam install js_of_ocaml
which js_of_ocaml # symlink this into your $PATH, maybe /usr/local/bin or something

Do everything else from the bucklescript switch

opam switch 4.02.3+buckle-master
eval `opam config env`
opam install camlp4 ocp-ocamlres
(cd vendor/ocaml && make world)
(cd jscomp && BS_RELEASE_BUILD=true BS_PLAYGROUND=../../bucklescript-playground node repl.js)
