Out of curiosity, what do you think the issues with js_of_ocaml were?

The main problems as I perceive it: - unreadable generated code (aka, hard to debug in the browser) - not very accessible (complex docs, unclear what it is or how to use it)

on any decent size application the output of bucklescript/rescript/melange is also unreadable. I never understood that argument.

some real problems with jsoo are (non exhaustive list)

- "heavy" FFI (both in term of setup and syntax)

- the output is a big single .js file, which doesn't allow reloading of a single component and doesn't integrate well with stuff like webpack

- slower compilation time

- lacking documentation for the javascript audience
