> I'll add to the list Chibi, which accepts emscripten as a build target Thanks for the addition. I don't know whether wasm is a good target for garden-variety JS apps (I don't really understand the implications). Usually those are just fed to Google Closure Compiler to get optimized and minified JavaScript. Just noticed that Amirouche already wrote a great summary of front-end options in our wiki: <https://github.com/schemeweb/wiki/wiki/frontend>. Somehow I had missed that. From that wiki page, forward.scm and cons both look like options worth investigating. forward.scm is inspired by the Elm Architecture. I've used Elm quite a bit and had an extremely positive experience with it. Due to the lack of Lisp macros and Haskell type classes I hear it can get boilerplatey for big apps, but for small ones it offers a lot. Model-View-Update rules.
