ReScript is a robustly typed language that compiles to efficient and human-readable JavaScript. It comes with a lightning fast compiler toolchain that scales to any codebase size.
ReScript 12 arrives with a redesigned build toolchain, a modular runtime, and a wave of ergonomic language features.
If you're a fan of both Daft Punk and the 80s City Pop genre and if you were around when City Pop was rising in 2019 then you could have listened to the mashup "Something about Plastic Love"[1]. Beautiful blend. The original got taken down - and second grade recreations remain.
Also Plastic Love is the best Pop song if you go by Vice[2].
When we talk about cities with a grid plan, all the cited examples in sibling comments pale in comparison to Mohenjo-daro. It existed around 2500 BC and one of the iconic places is the Great Bath which is the "earliest public water tank of the ancient world".
Tenochtitlan existed in the 15th century which is fairly recent.
One of the reasons that comes to my mind is - it could have been problematic look for only Microsoft (Copilot) to have access to GitHub for training AI models - à la monopolizing a data treasure trove. With anti-competitive legislation catching up to Google to open up its Play Store, this could have been one of key reasons why this deal came about.
If only projects like Bun/Deno/Node added runtime support for ReScript instead of TypeScript, collectively as the web-tooling industry, we'd be in a better place. But you can't win against the MS's marketing budget.
Also in hindsight, ReScript diverged away from OCaml, but the ReScript development team could have gone further by creating a runtime for ReScript. Then again I don't blame them - they are polishing the dev experience of ReScript and React.
This is the decade of writing shiny new runtimes - I hope somebody writes a ReScript runtime. Imageine ReScript, Core, rescript-webapi, typechecker, re-analyze, plus a bundler minifier etc baked into the runtime like Bun. Sounds like an interesting value proposition. Fingers crossed.
> I use TS because of its ubiquity, but I think there's the possibility for a future where a system a little more like Flow gets baked into the language.
Have you looked into ReScript? It is basically a sound type system + JavaScript-like syntax. It inherits the type system from OCaml. You might like it. They recently released version 11.
They do in many ways. Pixels have clean focused software that are excellent at what they do - it makes you want them. Also they dont include bloatware unlike Samsung.
1. Pixel Camera taught Samsungs and iPhones about computational photography pipelines and Night Sight,
2. Recorder,
3. Photos + various editing features (Top Shot / Best take / Magic Eraser),
4. Phone + various features (Call Screening(US) / Hold for Me(US) / Spam Protection)
5. Google Pay (UPI - India specific)
6. Gestures - Flip to Shh / Double Tap to open Camera / Twist twice in camera for Selfie mode.
One of the underrated achaar is Ber ka Achaar or pickled Indian Jujube[1]. It is a perfect spicy blend of sweet, salty, sour and heat. It smells mouth-watering too and is very delectable - you can gorge on them on their own. These days you'd hardly find people who can make it as good as I used to get back in 00's decade.
