+Compilation to JavaScript
+=========================
+
+Nim code can be compiled to JavaScript. However in order to write
+JavaScript-compatible code you should remember the following:
+- ``addr`` and ``ptr`` have slightly different semantic meaning in JavaScript.
+  It is recommended to avoid those if you're not sure how they are translated
+  to JavaScript.
+- ``cast[T](x)`` in JavaScript is translated to ``(x)``.
+- ``cstring`` in JavaScript means JavaScript string. It is a good practice to
+  use ``cstring`` only when it is semantically appropriate. E.g. don't use
+  ``cstring`` as a binary data buffer.
