I really like some aspects of CommonJS/OCaml -- while digesting the whole thing, I've put together an `opam-boot` tool that does the standalone bootstrap so that you can build OCaml/OPAM applications without either OCaml or OPAM installed.
Do you mean making Merlin works in a Js_of_ocaml environment?
I am not familiar with JS programming model, but I think it should be possible to turn Merlin into a worker and have synchronous loading of "cmi" files via some service
(I don't want to do control inversion on the whole typechecker :)).

I'm liking the Merlin integration in CommonJS as well -- perhaps specialising it for js_of_ocaml applications would be one way to deploy it.
