Dear OCaml developers:
   We are glad to announce the beta release of BuckleScript[1], a backend for the OCaml compiler which emits JavaScript. 
   A simple example is available here: https://github.com/bloomberg/bucklescript/#a-simple-example
   As examples of that vision, using BuckleScript, OCaml users can use Chrome Dev Tools to debug OCaml code, while Javascript users can use OCaml libraries as plain npm[2] packages. 
   The project is inspired by js_of_ocaml[3], its goal is to engage OCaml with average JavaScript developers. For this release, its FFI ([5], [6]) is not complete but quite rich and stable, we encourage you to try and share feedback with us!
  Thanks -- Hongbo
