Are there internal projects inside Bloomberg that use this? It is really great and it is very impressive that it seems that you almost single-handedly did all this. I am curious what moved Bloomberg to start a project like this.

we have an intern this summer create bindings for our internal JS stack. we have some internal stuff running on server side in OCaml which we wish to move to client side. I would say many thanks to my boss and employer's great support
BTW, congratulations on the 1.0 milestone!

How did you become so proficient with the OCaml compiler internals? When you started the project did you already know that you can compile to idiomatic js or was that discovered through experimentation?

Thanks! I have some experience in ocaml compiler internals, I reimplemented camlp4 called Fan. Yes, I made a prototype in 2 weekends and showed it to my boss and got very good feedback
