The thesis describes disadvantages of JavaScript in the context of big web applications and presents how they can be eliminated by compilation from a different language to JavaScript. With Scala as the source language, the thesis shows what it takes to implement such a compiler and how to solve issues that arise with the compilation process (interoperability, library distribution). On top of the compiler with a simple runtime a remote metod invocation (RPC) infrastructue is built. It also involves a dynamic client side script loader and an object graph (de)serializer. Finally the work compares the implemented toolkit to similar projects and proposes several interesting directions the toolkit can evolve into. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
