- intellix 11mo agoThat syntax is so alien to me as a JS/TS developer. I mean coffeescript was as well until JS slowly introduced it all. It would be cruel for me to force ReScript onto the team because they'd all need to reskill. I could only use it for a private project and then hire exclusively for it afterwards
- thomasikzelf 10mo agoReally, that is surprising to hear. There are a couple of differences but most of the syntax looks the same to me, what part do you find alien? The reskill problem is of similiar difficulty with learning a new framework I think. Especially because the language is rather simple compared to typescript (which is also its strength). I do understand it is an uphill battle. The whole nobody get's fired for choosing IBM thing. The language is still unproven in the general perception. I do think that when it comes to libraries and frameworks I see a lot of developers choose new unproven stuff, more then they do languages.
- cess11 11mo agoDoes this have a relation to Reason/Reason ML?
