Eliom 11.1 has been released recently.
This minor release brings compatibility with Web Assembly and the upcoming version of js_of_ocaml.
Ocsigen Toolkit and Ocsigen Start have been updated as well.
Stay tuned for further announcements concerning client-server Web and mobile apps in Ocaml with Web Assembly!

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your constant work on Eliom. Just yesterday I was browsing the github repository and I was looking for a broader idea on how the whole project is doing. To be honest I then decided against Ocsigen because my (admittedly superficial) impression was mixed and I was unsure about the projects future because of the minimal activity on the Elion repo and also the rather slow response times in the issue tracker.
For this reasons I’m a little (positively) surprised about your anouncement and maybe I really got a wrong impression. So maybe you could say something about the project and its future in general besides the whole wasm stuff?
Again - thanks for all you work.
Ben
There is this document from the 1st public Ocsigen meeting in July of this year:
Ocsigen: Status and future of the project.
I know try to getting started with eliom the second time, but even after resetting the entire ~/.opam, the eliom-distillery fails with a strange jsoo related error
Maybe somebody can take a look into the issue: make test.byte fails with jsoo error · Issue #684 · ocsigen/ocsigen-start · GitHub
Issue:

Although I’m not sure how to interpret … Is it funded now (and in the future), or is this open

Like many open-source products, Ocsigen is funded by grants or by users when they request a feature. We are constantly working on finding new funding.
It is also actively maintained by volunteers.

caml_new_string has been removed in js_of_ocaml 5.9 indeed.
try to downgrade to js_of_ocaml 5.8.2 until we fix the problem
