Awesomely, Jens has been working on Urlang: a Racket-ish syntax for JavaScript, using the nanopass compiler infrastructure:
https://github.com/soegaard/urlang and more ambitiously, a Racket (subset) ->JavaScript compiler (rjs), taking a distinct approach from Whalesong. * * * Just using plain Urlang together with sxml, Bootstrap (for css), and notably Ractive.js <http://ractive.js> for templating and data-binding I made the following demo / proof-of-concept: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/danprager/urlang/blob/master/urlang-examples/ractive/ractive-bootstrap-example.html Note: no heavyweight js runtime required: actually no runtime at all. Racket source: https://github.com/danprager/urlang/blob/master/urlang-examples/ractive/ractive-bootstrap-example.rkt HTML output (including embedded JavaScript): https://github.com/danprager/urlang/blob/master/urlang-examples/ractive/ractive-bootstrap-example.html The abstractions are a bit leaky, but I'm quietly excited about where this sort of approach could lead.
