Dear OCaml developers:
   BuckleScript is an optimizing compiler for OCaml to generate readable JavaScript, it is 
open sourced by Bloomberg [1].
   We are glad to announce 1.4.3, this release brings JS native module support to BuckleScript. In combination of existing JS bundler like rollup, it generates very small JS code output, below is an example:
   test.ml
   ```
    Js.log (List.length [1;2;3])
   ```
    test.js -- comments removed
    ```
    import * as List from "../lib/es6/list"
    console.log(List.length ([1,[2,[3,0]]]))
    ```
     test.bundle.js --comments removed
     ```
     (function (){
       var invalid_argument = [ "Invalid_argument", -3];
       function length(l) {
            var _len = 0;
            var _param = l;
            while(true) {
               var param = _param;
               var len = _len;
               if (param) {
                    _param = param[1];
                    _len = len + 1 | 0;
                    continue ;      
                }
               else {
                    return len;
                }
           }
        }
        console.log(length([1,2,3]));
      })()
     ```
   Documentation is available here: http://bloomberg.github.io/bucklescript/Manual.html
   To install:
        npm install -g bs-platform
   Happy hacking in OCaml! -- Hongbo
