Get it

Get the code with git. Beware that this repo contains two submodules, which you need to clone too. So after cloning this repo, cd into it and do:

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Test it

Build is done with sbt. Use

sbt> package-js

to compile the compiler and the standard library. Afterwards, you can compile the example applications:

sbt> examples/package-js

You can "execute" the example applications by opening their respective HTML files in your favorite browser.

Currently, two examples are provided:

• examples/helloworld/helloworld.html, saying Hello World in four different ways (using DOM or jQuery, and using the untyped or typed interface to JavaScript).
• examples/reversi/reversi.html, an implementation of a Reversi game. Note that it uses the HTML5 Canvas element, so it won't work with Internet Explorer 8 or below.
