Why learn ReScript?

ReScript is one of the most exciting new projects in my opinion. Announced in July 2020, this rebrand of the BuckleScript compiler promises to provide features tailored toward the JavaScript ecosystem. Like its Facebook-backed predecessor ReasonML, Rescript leverages the strong type system of OCaml to ensure that you get a robust type system with type inference, coupled with great built-in support for JSX, and blazing fast builds that compile to optimized JavaScript and it is a great language for React development. The best feature of ReScript is that it is built in a way that makes incremental adoption easy and painless. With such low risk and investment needed, why not try it?

Before we learn more about ReScript, it might be helpful to learn a bit about its predecessor, ReasonML.

Learn ReScript  - A Safer Way to Write JavaScript

ReScript is a JS-like syntax that leverages parts of the OCaml language. With great built-in support for JSX, and blazing fast builds that compile to optimized JavaScript and it is a great language for React development. This allows ReScript to leverage its excellent type checking system and other features of the language. The compiler then handles converting this code to optimized Javascript. The best feature of ReScript is that it is built in a way that makes incremental adoption easy and painless. With such low risk and investment needed, why not try it?
