• How to use Dependency Injection in Functional Programming
  5 projects | dev.to | 16 Jan 2022

  This isn’t true for all functional languages, though. In Elm, for example, this technique isn’t used because Elm does not have side effects since all functions are pure. In ReScript, however, you would because while it’s Functional, it still has the exact same side effect model as JavaScript because it compiles to JavaScript.

  How about ReScript?

• TS Belt - fast, modern, and practical utility library for FP in TypeScript
  3 projects | dev.to | 6 Dec 2021

  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.

• From object-oriented JS to functional ReScript

  The same is about ReScript. It’s a practical language for real-world development, albeit with a (relaxed) functional paradigm. ReScript also has lightweight JavaScript interop, so it’s easy to mix ReScript parts into an existing JS codebase and vice versa. Take your scale: if your wants for code reliability, simplicity, and robustness overweight the risk of employing new technology, give a chance to the functional programming with ReScript. BTW, I’m not affiliated with the ReScript team anyhow; I’m just a humble, proud user 😌

• ADTs in Typescript

  I think variants and pattern matching make code so much better, and now I do all my personal hobby projects in rescript now.

• Which Language?

  If OCaml piques your interest, and if you have any interest in front-end web development I also recommend you check out ReScript (formerly ReasonML). ReScript is essentially "Functional JavaScript", similar to Elm. It’s built on top of the OCaml compiler and is similar in syntax and semantics (ReasonML started out as an alternative syntax for OCaml but ReScript seems to be trying to cut that association). I’m building a complex project in ReScript right now and really enjoying it.

• Full-stack ReScript. Architecture Overview

  So, ReScript. I guess you have heard about this beautiful and pragmatic language in the context of reliable and enjoyable web development. If you dive into learning resources around ReScript, you’ll see most of them focus on React/UI/front-end development, leaving the server-side with no attention. But can ReScript also be used to create a full-featured back-end? In this article, I’d try to prove it can and does it with success.

• Yes, I know TypeScript is transpiled, don't give me speech

  I understand, I'm telling you that you are wrong with that assessement. Rescript is essentially OCAML, and purely functional. It is compiled, not transpiled, because it is not javascript. Just try it and trust me - https://rescript-lang.org/

  Lesson Learned: You read this far just to see me troll Evan. In all seriousness, use the type system and functions to return meaningful types vs expecting low-level, non-meaningful primitives to pattern match. This kind of thinking leads to the Boolean Identity Crisis. Or use ReScript with React and their super-fun-to-debug useState hook. Side effects Crazy Town®? Bruh, it’s fine, you can now pattern match on negative ints.
