Acknowledgments
- Thanks to the OCaml team, obviously, without such a beautiful yet practical language, this backend would not exist
- Thanks to ninja-build, BuckleScript also comes with a blazing fast build tool on top of it,
ninjais a truly well engineered scalable build tool - Thanks to Bloomberg and Facebook. This project began at Bloomberg and was published in 2016; without the support of Bloomberg, it would not have happened. This project's funded by Facebook since July/2017

BuckleScript builds on parts of js_of_ocaml:
jscomp/core/js_dump.ml(pretty printer)
BuckleScript builds on parts of OCaml:
These modules were adapted from ocaml/bytecomp/simplif.ml for
JavaScript specific optimization purposes.
jscomp/main/js_main.ml is adapted from ocaml/driver/main.ml. It is the main entry
point of the underlying compiler.
jscomp/stdlib-* is copied from ocaml/stdlib. It is compiled to JavaScript and
included with BuckleScript.
jscomp/test is based on ocaml/testsuite.
BuckleScript unit test builds on parts of OUnit
jscomp/ounitis adapted from ounit, the unit test utilities are only used for dev purpose, they are not required for distribution
