• Overview of an EDSL for Javascript generation (JSMW), and related techniques.

Alternatively (or additionally)

As HSFFIG was recently "revived", if there is a project to work on during Hac φ with bindings to a C library (but not C++), and the developers would like to give HSFFIG (or ffipkg) a try, I may give a talk on that and will be happy to help.

JMacro: A Macro System for Programmatic Generation of Javascript

A different approach I've been working on, based on quasi-quotation and some neat ideas about managing scope. Based on the premise that the best DSL for most Javascript is (almost) Javascript, but the best syntax for Javascript is (almost) Haskell.
