DR is: if you are looking for a productive way to program browser= s=C2=A0 with js=5Fof=5Focaml but without ppx and ghost OCaml objects, give Brr a = try. The details: =C2=A0 Brr is a toolkit for programming browsers in OCaml with the =C2=A0 =5B=60js=5Fof=5Focaml=60=5D=5Bjsoo=5D compiler. It provides: =C2=A0 * Interfaces to a selection of browser APIs. =C2=A0 * Note based reactive support (optional and experimental). =C2=A0 * An OCaml console developer tool for live interaction=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 with programs running in web pages. =C2=A0 * A JavaScript =46=46I for idiomatic OCaml programming. =C2=A0 Brr is distributed under the ISC license. It depends on =5BNote=5D= =5Bnote=5D =C2=A0 and on the =60js=5Fof=5Focaml=60 compiler and runtime =E2=80=93 bu= t not on its =C2=A0 libraries or syntax extension. Homepage: https://erratique.ch/software/brr=C2=A0 API Docs & manuals:=C2=A0https://erratique.ch/software/brr/doc/=C2=A0or =60= odig doc brr=60 Browser API coverage:=C2=A0https://erratique.ch/software/brr/doc/index.ht= ml=23supported=5Fapis Install: opam install brr=C2=A0 Brr is essentially what I need to be productive for browser programming w= ith=C2=A0 js=5Fof=5Focaml: an obvious =46=46I with JavaScript objects as abstract d= ata=C2=A0 types without OCaml object phantom types and binding documentation=C2=A0 precisely linking into MDN. The OCaml console is the hack on the cake. In the past I often found it f= rustrating to=C2=A0 have OCaml programs running in my webpages and be greeted with a JavaScri= pt=C2=A0 prompt in the browser dev tools. Quite a bit of polishing could be done o= n that=C2=A0 though. Some of which should likely directly be done upstream in the topl= evel=C2=A0 machinery (e.g. identifier completion, a better toploop API and support f= or easy pretty=C2=A0 printer installation). It would also be nice if we could cut down on =C2=A0= =60js=5Fof=5Focaml=60's=C2=A0 toplevel compilation times ;-) Parts of Brr have been seriously dogfooded in the past but that new incar= nation is=C2=A0 largely untested for now and certain APIs might need adjustements. Early=C2= =A0 adopters should study actual binding coverage and expect glitches or litt= le breakages=C2=A0 in the future.=C2=A0 The Note reactive functionality was also seriously used in the past but N= ote itself needs a new design round and I don't have the ressources to do it right now, ex= pect breakage,=C2=A0 don't pay too much attention to it for now. My thanks to the js=5Fof=5Focaml developers for the nice ocaml to javascr= ipt compiler and a=C2=A0 special shootout to Hugo Heuzard for not getting mad at me when pinging h= im directly=C2=A0 for questions. Happy browser compatibility bug hunting,=C2=A0 Daniel =5Bnote=5D: https://erratique.ch/software/note =5Bjsoo=5D: https://ocsigen.org/js=5Fof=5Focaml
