Thanks for this! Really awesome stuff!

One question here: how tight the compiler is binded to OCaml semantics? Besides Reason, do you think it's possible to build a frontend for other languages and integrate the backend of BuckleScript to generate beautiful JS as well? Or in other words, what property do you think a language should have so we can generate this level of beautiful JS outputs?

BTW: Please understand I'm not objecting OCaml, I do believe OCaml is an awesome language, but my point is: if possible, we should make this beautiful backend for generating human-readable JS more accessible than restricting it to OCaml only, shouldn't we :)

OCaml compiler is designed in an extremely modular style. Actually you can design any syntax for OCaml (including lisp style) and produce the OCaml data structure, then it should work with BuckleScript, that's how Reason works
