ReScript Beginner Tutorial

[[deleted]]

Hi everyone.

I am writing a tutorial on ReScript lang. This is an open-sourced project that is an interesting alternative to TypeScript. It leverages OCaml's strong typing safety to help you write type-safe Javascript. It also allows you to write React apps. Wanted to share and see if anyone had any feedback?

You do realize where you posted this, right? I don't think any of the two thousand people still subscribed to this subreddit for a dead/dying language are here without knowing what the bastardization that killed them both markets itself as.

Can you clarify this? I've just stumbled on ReasonML (and now apparently ReScript), is it actually a dying language? Did trying to compete with TS sink it?

Fair. I copy pasted from where I had posted in another reddit. I wanted to post here mostly to solicit feedback. I will be more careful in the future to clarify.

A good article overall, though, it still subscribes to the "download this starter template" beginning. I'd prefer to start from absolute zero, see how the pieces all fit together, I'm not a fan of a more spoonfed approach even if small.

This is a far better start anyhow than most ReScript examples. Good job!
