For those interested in compiling down to Javascript with a strongly and statically typed language, there's a brilliant proper subset of Haskell that compiles down to Javascript called "Fay": https://github.com/faylang/fay/wiki

[rtfeldman → Ixiaus]

Also Roy, which is statically typed (with type inference) and is designed for JS interop. It's also written in JS and can be installed with just npm install roy http://roy.brianmckenna.org/

[jallmann → Ixiaus]

There is also js_of_ocaml, which can be used to compile straight OCaml to Javascript:

http://ocsigen.org/js_of_ocaml/

The site has some cool demos including webgl, canvas, and a OCaml toplevel (REPL).

i like the looks of opa too: http://opalang.org/

[klibertp → zem]

I would like it, but why oh why does it have Algol-like syntax? It started with ML-like one IIRC, so whyyyy? (it's just an expression of disappointment, not actual question)

[zem → klibertp]

yeah, that disappointed me deeply too :(
