Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

ts-belt - Fast, modern, and practical utility library for FP in TypeScript / Flow / JavaScript. (Faster than ramda, rambda, remeda and lodash/fp.)
I don't really use ts-belt to be certain, but by looking at the source, it seems that it's using genType, which can generate TS types from ReScript values, and that makes interop work really well.

ReScript 10.0
They discuss this in their docs.
https://rescript-lang.org/docs/manual/latest/introduction#di...
Seems like a type system for Javascript, built with a differing set of opinions than Typescript.
Looks like they also offer some form of TS interop:

TS Belt - fast, modern, and practical utility library for FP in TypeScript
TS Belt has been built with ReScript (and its Belt stdlib). ReScript generates highly performant JavaScript code, and with genType it also automatically generates TypeScript types. Moreover, I've added a few codemods to the building process to provide even more code optimizations and cleaner TypeScript signatures.

How I Switched from TypeScript to ReScript
To interoperate with TypeScript with proper type information you’ll use third-party genType. Add it as a devDependency and annotate the module export you want to generate with @genType (in previous versions you’d surround annotations with square brackets).

TypeScript please give us types
We have types at home.
My litmus test regarding whether I can even consider using a library in production is: does it have more stars than fartscroll.js?
https://github.com/theonion/fartscroll.js/tree/master
Most of the entries there are below that number, which begs the question: is this really that much of a problem that it mandates the drastic changes required?
I actually don't know if it's even doable, considering TS's structural type system, where the answer to the question "what type is X?" is not straightforward.

From TypeScript to ReScript
As a sort of litmus test I use the number of stars a superset of(or language compiling to) JavaScript has on GitHub and how that compares to fartscroll.js: https://github.com/theonion/fartscroll.js/
By this measure ReScript is still a niche language.
What are some alternatives?
zod - TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference
lwt - OCaml promises and concurrent I/O
melange - A mixture of tooling combined to produce JavaScript from OCaml & Reason
Idris2 - A purely functional programming language with first class types
typescript-needs-types - TypeScript please give us types.
bolt - Bolt is a language with in-built data-race freedom!
rescript-sublime - Official Sublime Text plugin for ReScript.
from-typescript-to-rescript - Frontend of https://Inhyped.com written in TypeScript and rewritten in ReScript
ts-belt - 🔧 Fast, modern, and practical utility library for FP in TypeScript.
