ReasonML VS PureScript

Hey HN, at Ahrefs we have been working on an online book that hopefully helps React developers get up and running with Melange, an OCaml to JavaScript compiler. You can read more about Melange here: https://melange.re/. There are still a few chapters that we'd like to add before considering it "complete", but it might be already helpful for some folks out there, that's why we decided to publish it early. The book... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

What that means is that ReScript has a lightning fast compiler, an easy to learn JS like syntax, strong static types, with amazing features like pattern matching and variant types. Until 2020 it was called "BuckleScript" and is closely related to ReasonML. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

This tracks with how I've seen "normal" languages converge on similar, flawed imitations of better type systems through tools and repurposed syntax. Thank you for confirming. Do you have any recommendations or warnings regarding general languages which reach in the opposite direction? Reason[1] and F#[2] are both examples: they attach pre-existing ecosystems and compile-for-$PLATFORM tools to OCaml-like typing.... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Why not use https://reasonml.github.io/ instead? Or just use Typescript? Source: 12 months ago

I hope you get a chance to try PureScript out in your JS projects! For more learning resources, you can check out PureScript website. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
