Overview

This repository is nothing more than a proof of concept using Coq's Extraction, BuckleScript, Rollup, Terser, and Closure Compiler to generate safe and fast JavaScript.

What is Coq

Coq is a proof assistant. It means that it is designed to develop mathematical proofs, and especially to write formal specifications, programs and proofs that programs comply to their specifications. An interesting additional feature of Coq is that it can automatically extract executable programs from specifications, as either Objective Caml or Haskell source code. - A short introduction to Coq

What is BuckleScript

BuckleScript isn't a new language. It simply takes OCaml, a fast, pragmatic and typed language, and makes it compile to clean, readable and performant JavaScript code. - What is BuckleScript?
