ReScript: A Better Typed JavaScript? (with Gabriel Nordeborn)

February 20, 2025 1:32:53 133.76 MB Downloads: 0

ReScript is a strongly-typed programming language that compiles to JavaScript, and that puts it squarely in competition with TypeScript. So why would a JavaScript developer choose to learn it next? What does it offer that makes it a tempting proposition? And how are the ReScript developers making life easier for anyone who wants to make the switch?

To answer all these questions and more, I’m joined this week by Gabriel Nordeborn, one of ReScript’s compiler contributors.
