>you may or may not be aware that when he headed vpri, they did some substantial research into some of the other important ways to organize software, including things like array languages, david p. reed's work on spatially replicated computation, and cooperating communities of specialized solvers.
I'm very interested in knowing what array languages they were researching. The only thing I can find is Nile[1] but from the examples it doesn't look like an array language to me.

What are some simple but powerful compile-to-JS languages I might not know about, or that you are working on (not Elm, Reason, PureScript, or ClojureScript)?

Again, "compile-to-JS" is too broad of a term. It is very difficult to understand what you are looking for. You can have everything in there from languages that just add little bits to JS like TypeScript & CoffeeScript all the way to research languages like Nile and extremely powerful languages like ATS or Rust.

Can you link to both the Maru community and the reborn Nile work? I've always tried to follow the latter, but [1] seems to be the only place to find information and it's been silent for a long time.

I'm disappointed that my own IntercalScript didn't make the list.
Does the number of keywords really matter?

If someone thinks that having only 14 reserved keywords is important, you should show them IntercalScript.

Intercalscript. I'm only partially joking. It actually has some pretty amazing features and it compiles to JS.

Seeing all these generics groupies huddling in this thread is quite hilarious to me. It takes me about 3 hours to write a generator that can spit out 3000 lines of code implementing 60 api calls.

Oh my God, and I thought this question from the IntercalScript FAQ was an original joke.
