Scala.js[0], GHCJS[1], and Js_of_ocaml[2] among others.

[2] http://ocsigen.org/js_of_ocaml/



Languages that compile to JS are plentiful; shops that use those languages are much less so (with the possible exception of coffeescript).


I believe smrtinsert is referring to places that you could work at to write those languages, not that the languages themselves are impossible to find. I don't know if anyone is actually being paid by someone else to write ScalaJS, GHCHS and/or Js_of_ocaml.


> places that you could work at to write those languages

Ah, missed that, assumed OP meant if only there was a way to write JS without having to write JS.


There are some end to end Clojure shops. Pretty sure Relevance uses cljs.
