BuckleScript: write JavaScript faster, safer and smaller

Re:BuckleScript: write JavaScript faster, safer and smaller by fspeech on Saturday January 21, 2017 @03:05AM (#13449326)

I am waiting for the next Windows release that would allow one to use the bash subsystem from native programs so I can use Reason/BuckleScript with Vscode. OCaml/Windows integration isn't the greatest.

BuckleScript itself works fine on Windows. Installs in an npm project with `npm install bs-platform` and good to go from there. Try it out.

I can run BuckleScript under Windows/Bash. However as I understand it one needs things like merlin working to get a decent IDE experience.

There's an OCaml VSCode extension powered by merlin.

you should be able to use linux VSCode with a win32 X server like mobaxterm right now.

I am trying to wrap my brain around this one. Do you mean I can run the VSCode under the bash subsystem and connect to an X server? Good to know this is workable.

Exactly like that. Run the elf binary, connect to PE X server.
