ANN: ocamljs 0.3

ANN: ocamljs 0.3

[Jake Donham]

Hi list,

I am happy to announce version 0.3 of ocamljs. Ocamljs is a system for
compiling OCaml to Javascript. It includes a Javascript back-end for
the OCaml compiler, as well as several support libraries, such as
bindings to the browser DOM. Ocamljs also works with orpc
(http://jaked.github.com/orpc) for RPC over HTTP, and froc
(http://jaked.github.com/froc) for functional reactive browser
programming.

Changes since version 0.2 include:

 * support for OCaml 3.11.x and 3.12.0
 * jQuery binding (contributed by Dave Benjamin)
 * full support for OCaml objects (interoperable with Javascript objects)
 * Lwt 2.x support
 * ocamllex and ocamlyacc support
 * better interoperability with Javascript
 * many small fixes and improvements

Development of ocamljs has moved from Google Code to Github; see

 * project page: <http://github.com/jaked/ocamljs>
 * documentation: <http://jaked.github.com/ocamljs>
 * downloads: <http://github.com/jaked/ocamljs/downloads>

I hope you find this work useful.

Jake

What are the differences between:
- OBrowser (http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~canou/obrowser/tutorial/)
- Js_of_OCaml (http://ocsigen.org/js_of_ocaml/overview)
- OcamlJS

OBrowser seems to be replaced by Js_of_OCaml

These three projects have one goal in common -- running Ocaml code
inside a browser -- but approach it differently:

  - O'Browser implements in Javascript an interpreter of Ocaml bytecode
    (the code produced by ocamlc).

  - js_of_ocaml compiles Ocaml bytecode into Javascript.

  - ocamljs is a new backend for the Ocaml compiler that translates
    Ocaml's intermediate representation (the "lambda" representation)
    into Javascript.


Hope that clarifies things a bit,
Dario Teixeira

[nacl-ocaml], wich patches the ocaml compiler to produce native code
compatible with [Google Native Client] technology (verified native code for
sandboxed environments such as browsers) may also be relevant here.

Dear Jake,

I was playing with ocamljs. It's very nice to use ocaml to
produce javascript ! I have a question : in ocamljs, there is a support
for style objects. However, I do not see how to use them usefully  
because
there don't seem to have some set_style method anywhere (but I found  
the get_style).
Did I miss something ?

Thank you,

	Christophe

Thanks for trying ocamljs. The Dom module just wraps (part of) the
browser DOM API, and in that API the style property is read-only (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Style/css.html#CSS-htmlelementcss).
You have to set properties on the style object for an element rather
than setting the style property of the element.
