I really like some aspects of CommonJS/OCaml -- while digesting the whole thing, I've put together an `opam-boot` tool that does the standalone bootstrap so that you can build OCaml/OPAM applications without either OCaml or OPAM installed.

https://github.com/avsm/opam-boot (still unannounced and being debugging, but essentially working)

I'm liking the Merlin integration in CommonJS as well -- perhaps specialising it for js_of_ocaml applications would be one way to deploy it.

Do you mean making Merlin works in a Js_of_ocaml environment?

I am not familiar with JS programming model, but I think it should be possible to turn Merlin into a worker and have synchronous loading of "cmi" files via some service (I don't want to do control inversion on the whole typechecker :)).

Looks like a great way to get sandboxing!
