better DSL

@timbl wrote an e-mail to the public-rdfjs mailing list entitled "High level sexy JS rdf interface?" .

It would be good to go through that and see how much we already deliver, and how much more could be done. We need to point out that scala-js allows us to compile banana-rdf to JavaScript, and therefore can be thought of as a JS library.

Oh wow, that sounds cool. I think we all have made a lot of progress there. Bit late here for me to add anything useful, tomorrow though 👍

Here are some of the test suites for our DSL ( Diesel ). These all compile to JavaScript.

• DieselGraphConstructTest.scala
• DieselOwlPrimerTest.scala
• DieselGraphExplorationTest.scala

Next we need to see how much of what @timbl is looking for this covers.

In any case this could make for some good documentation.

It might be jumping in with a post:

• scalajs already has experimental ES6 support
• Spire is ported to scalajs and supports real/rational numbers, as required by OWL
• Refined can be added so that we can add xsd datatypes as "native" values, also on sjs

So many of the examples are there, or almost there, now - and more than a high level API, rather totally idiomatic.

Being added to http://www.w3.org/community/rdfjs/wiki/Comparison_of_RDFJS_libraries would also help
