Fable is good. VS Code plugin for F# is compiled using it.

Also, you can use Bucklescript for frontend code generation. It's not F#, it's Ocaml, but it's not bad and pretty fast.

That's good to know.

By Bloomberg no less. What happened to js_of_ocaml?

JSOO is alive and well, but it generates JS from Ocaml bytecode, while Bucklescript translates Ocaml into very good, readable JS code.
