denoify VS rescript-compiler

If you’re building packages/libraries for the community to use you can take a look at Denoify. It’s a project that aims to change some of your files automatically when migrating and make it easier to maintain the project for both npm and deno.land/x.

I do Node-first packages and use https://github.com/garronej/denoify to produce deno-compatible code. (example: https://github.com/mxxii/leac )

You can use https://github.com/garronej/denoify for Node-first packages.

Or use ts-patten it's comming to Deno soon (thanks to Denoify).

So, if you tried Denoify in the past and it didn't work for you, maybe it will now. If you need a hand, I'm happy to help. Just ask anything on the newly opened discussion section of the github repo.

It has zero dependencies so was very easy to dual publish on both npm and deno.land using denoify. Literally just needed to add the .ts extension to imports.

ReScript is a fully typed language with an easy to understand JS like syntax, blazing fast compiler, that compiles to JavaScript. You can easily drop it into an existing project, and there is even a way to generate TypeScript types if you want to add it to a TypeScript project!

If you’re a front-end developer, you should checkout ReScript[1], supposedly a JS-oriented successor of ReasonML and developed by the ReasonML team.

ReScript is "Fast, Simple, Fully Typed JavaScript from the Future". 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.

As another commenter has already suggested, ReasonML has a lot of what you described here.

However, modern JS-oriented toolchain for ReasonML is called ReScript and you can learn more here: https://rescript-lang.org/

ReScript (before BuckleScript) https://rescript-lang.org/ is a functional language that can also use OOP. Ideal for Javascript and Typescript projects, React and servers. It integrates perfectly with Javascript and Typescript code https://rescript-lang.org/docs/react/latest/introduction

Thank you!

We invited Gabriel because we think what he's building is pretty cool. It showcases so much about EdgeDB: its type system, data model, query language, composability, introspection, etc.

I'm not a ReScript user myself. What I know is that it's a functional programming language somewhat heavily inspired by OCaml. Their website goes into details [1]

You might want to look into ReScript (https://rescript-lang.org/). It has strong static typing with type inference, and it is very fast.

This is because a “Tagged Union”, another word for TypeScript’s Discriminated Union, is a way to “tag which one is in use right now… we check the tag to see”. Just like when you’re shopping and check the tag of a piece of clothing to see what the price is, what size it is, or what material it’s made out of. Languages like ReScript compile many of their Unions (called Variants) to JavaScript Objects that have a tag property.

ReScript is "Fast, Simple, Fully Typed JavaScript from the Future". Let's take a look at how we can add it to an existing React project.
