This looks really interesting. Does this implement the entire OCaml language? I found a section of the docs marked 'semantic differences', but it seems... suspiciously small...

This would allow me to write GWT-style client/server apps where both ends are written in the same language with a set of common library code compiled for both, right? What's the library support like? Don't suppose there's any ELM-style DOM diffing support, is there?

Yes, we implement the whole language, except a very few places that is hard to due to the limitation of JS runtime.

Exactly, client side/ server side in a single language. People are working on porting the Elm architecture to BuckleScript, they will be coming soon
