rescript-compiler VS purescript

Probably every developer that comes to ReScript stumbles upon a dilemma about which module from the standard library they should use to work with JavaScript API.

I wasn't familiar with this before. Thanks for being it to my attention! https://rescript-lang.org/

I find ReScript (https://rescript-lang.org/) fundamentally better than TypeScript. It has easy FFI and a sound typesystem. With Rescript you wont have any runtime errors, like you can with typescript. But compared to vanilla javascript typescript is a big improvement.

Overall, both TypeScript and ReScript have several advantages over JavaScript, and which one you choose will depend on your specific needs and preferences. TypeScript is a good choice if you want to take advantage of static typing and strong integration with popular front-end frameworks, while ReScript is a good choice if you want a simple and easy-to-learn language with a focus on readability and performance. Regardless of which language you choose, all three are powerful tools that can help you build high-quality web applications.

I’ve recently been ripped from doing Functional Programming in Elm on the front-end and ReScript on the back-end in a Serverless Environment into Object Oriented Programming using Angular & TypeScript on the front-end and TypeScript on the back-end in a server full environment. It’s been quite a shock to go back to what I moved on from 7 years ago. Thankfully TypeScript has started to incorporate some Functional Programming constructs so I can keep my sanity (or at least try).

This year, I chose Roc. It’s a strictly typed functional language. As someone who loves Elm, a strictly typed functional language for front-end web development, I was lacking a language for everything else (server, cli, etc). ReScript has been my stand in for various reasons. I was excited to try Roc lang for last year’s Advent of Code, but my youngest daughter convinced me to use Lua for Roblox. I figured after a whole year, things would be much more stable now.

Because you use rescript

The correct answer is actually rescript

ReScript compilation speeds are really fast out of the box. But, sometimes editing certain files can take longer to compile than you'd expect it to.

PureScript is a Haskell-like language aimed at providing an alternative to TypeScript for statically typed programming in the JavaScript space. I highly recommend taking a look at PureScript for your compile-to-JavaScript needs outside of the use case we'll be talking about in this post.

Tons of them, but I am most interested in the following for various reasons:

PureScript[1] — been around a long time. Looks a lot like Haskell to me.

Derw[2] — Elm-like, interesting integration with Typescript

Amber[3] — smalltalk for js

Rescript[4] — its been awhile since i last looked at this project (during a catastrophic rebrand) so I'm not sure where this project is at, but it did seem very promising to me at one point.

Thinking about "tools" in a more general sense, there is Pandoc,¹ which is an end-user application, and PureScirpt,² a programming language.

² https://www.purescript.org

There's Purescript with two libraries implementing the Elm architecture, flame and elmish (on React). Purescript only targets JS, but that can be embedded in mobile and desktop apps.
