BuckleScript is a backend for OCaml which emits readable, modular and highly performant JavaScript.
BuckleScript probably has the fastest JavaScript compiler.The compiler is compiled to both native code and JavaScript, users can try the compiler in the browser and imagine how fast it would be for native backend.
BuckleScript is one of the very few compilers which compiles an existing typed language to readable JavaScript. It has the same characteristics of typescript: one OCaml module compiled into one JavaScript module (AMDJS, CommonJS, or Google module) without name mangling.
