Basically Bucklescript have forked their own (very similar) syntax from ReasonML and branded the whole syntax + Bucklescript + compiler package as ReScript. I suppose the goal is to eliminate the confusion of having so many moving parts and unify them all under a single ReScript brand.
- orra 6y agoThanks. I guess the thing I didn't understand was where this leaves Reason: what is left under the Reason banner? But a fork would explain the overlap.
- ccapndave 6y agoReason is still an alternative syntax to OCaml for native development, although I have no idea how many people actually use it for that.
- yawaramin 6y agoLots of things are under the Reason banner: - The Reason syntax at https://github.com/facebook/reason https://github.com/facebook/reason - Esy, the npm-like Opam-compatible package manager at https://esy.sh/ https://esy.sh/ - Reason native tooling in https://reason-native.com/ https://reason-native.com/ - Not forgetting that Dune and Odoc, two standard tools in the OCaml ecosystem, both support Reason syntax. EDIT: and I forgot about the various editor plugins which provide Reason support, the most well-known is probably https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jaredly.reason-vscode https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jaredly....
