urlang

If you're interested in JavaScript on Racket, also please check out Urlang: https://github.com/soegaard/urlang/tree/master It's not a Racket to JavaScript compiler, but rather lets you write JavaScript using Lisp syntax... and macros! Very pleasant to work with. For a "real world" worked example, I used it to write a small game: https://oofoe.itch.io/qube-cat

FWIW here is an overview: https://racket.discourse.group/t/urlang-is-javascript-with-a... The Github repo is here: https://github.com/soegaard/urlang

If you want to design a programming language, and are okay with building off of an existing language, I suggest giving Racket a try. It can do more than just create DSLs and compile down to Racket code. I recently learned about sham* which allows interfacing with LLVM. I've linked some examples and references below References 1. https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/languages.html 2. https://docs.racket-lang.org/turnstile/ Examples 1. https://github.com/soegaard/urlang 2. https://github.com/rjnw/sham 3. https://github.com/ShawSumma/lure 4. https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype 5. https://github.com/lexi-lambda/hackett

It should support all of JavaScript. If you find a construct not supported, file a bug. Since Urlang has not been released on pkgs.racket-lang.org yet, clone the Github repo. And then use the Package Manager in DrRacket (or use raco) to install urlang as a package. For a small demonstration on how to use Raphael.js (a graphics library) and dynamic insertion of DOM nodes see the "browser.rkt" example. https://github.com/soegaard/urlang/blob/master/browser.html https://github.com/soegaard/urlang/blob/master/browser.rkt Note: Open "browser.rkt" in DrRacket. Run the program. If "foo" is an urlang module, then the file "foo.js" will be generated. I'd love to hear your feedback.
