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).

Building React Components Using Unions in TypeScript
Naturally I’d recommend using a better language such as ReScript or Elm or PureScript or F#‘s Fable + Elmish, but “React” is the king right now and people perceive TypeScript as “less risky” for jobs/hiring, so here we are.

Why I'm Leaving Elm
PureScript[1][2] seems pretty alive these days. From my relatively small, self-contained experiments, it's a lot more flexible and expressive than Elm at the expense of (maybe?) being a bit harder to learn up-front.

My main beef with Haskell/JS
Assuming this is a PS knock, fwiw this went away a good bit ago: https://github.com/purescript/purescript/releases/tag/v0.14.2
What are some alternatives?
When comparing genType and purescript you can also consider the following projects:
zod - TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference
fp-ts - Functional programming in TypeScript
melange - A mixture of tooling combined to produce JavaScript from OCaml & Reason
reason - Simple, fast & type safe code that leverages the JavaScript & OCaml ecosystems
Idris2 - A purely functional programming language with first class types
elm-reactor
lwt - OCaml promises and concurrent I/O
Elm - Compiler for Elm, a functional language for reliable webapps.
bolt - Bolt is a language with in-built data-race freedom!
rescript-compiler - The compiler for ReScript.
rescript-sublime - Official Sublime Text plugin for ReScript.
