Rescript?

• sprkv5 2y ago
  Absolutely. People are sleeping on it. If only projects like Bun/Deno/Node added runtime support for ReScript instead of TypeScript, collectively as the web-tooling industry, we'd be in a better place. But you can't win against the MS's marketing budget. Also in hindsight, ReScript diverged away from OCaml, but the ReScript development team could have gone further by creating a runtime for ReScript. Then again I don't blame them - they are polishing the dev experience of ReScript and React. This is the decade of writing shiny new runtimes - I hope somebody writes a ReScript runtime. Imageine ReScript, Core, rescript-webapi, typechecker, re-analyze, plus a bundler minifier etc baked into the runtime like Bun. Sounds like an interesting value proposition. Fingers crossed.
